94 Civic EX PROBLEM
Alright My poor baby is sitting and has been for about a week now, It started having problems starting about a month ago but i though nothing of it, i have replaced the following:
Spark Plugs/Spark Plug Wires/Distributor Cap/Rotor
Map Sensor (it was cracked)
Head Gasket
Fuel Filter
Now Its getting Fuel (trust me) And its getting spark and right after replacing the distributor end it ran like a dream, we got the oil changed, put injector cleaner in there and right before we got home it made a click type noise and died while i was driving.
The timing is dead on and the ONLY thing i haven't replaced is the Distributor.
Now i want to make sure its the distributor before spending 200 on one and it still not fixing the problem.
It turns over but wont start.

Alright, Now add the Distributor to the list of things that are brand new. Yes everything is OEM.
My Wires are all correctly connected.
I tried the whole shorting the 2 prong wire to see the codes. It It flashed a '21' Vtec Solenoid Valve. WE took the valve off and its not clogged.. I unplugged my Vtec and it still didnt start. Could it be that my ECU is faulty?

Re: 94 Civic EX PROBLEM
No i will not sell it for parts.
I just replaced the Distributor, which means it has a brand new ignition coil in it.
Its not my main Relay.
Im going to check the code again and see if it tells me anything different.
Thanks for the help everyone

Re: 94 Civic EX PROBLEM
Well we did check fuses before and none of them are blown, so im rethinking the whole Main Relay.
It made a "Click" Type noise before i lost all the power and after reading up on Main Relays and people with the same problem as mine i do think the relay is to blame.
I wont know for sure untill i stick a brand new relay on it and try to start it, and that might not be till Thursday.
