your problem is spark related, depending on milage you might need a coil. Check your spark, from the distributor , and spark from wires

sounds like somethin that happened to me...i changed the cap rotor and got some fuel injectoer cleaner and she would start right up.

what all were u doin? did it smell like fuel really bad?

joehonda1129

well a fuel pump never stays on it primes it self for about 1 to 2 ins then cuts off and the car ran just fine after i change the ecu and go new sparks and oil change but 1 problem it is spiting out black exhaust

does anybody know what it could be? mayb the top dead top dead center sensor? it was throwing that code before

Silver89crx

any ideas

bshaw

did you replace your coil?

i just had a similar problem, turned out to be my igniter. car would crank and crank but would not turn over for anything! only took me 6 days to figure out what the problem was. i had no spark or no signal to the fuel injectors, and i smelled gas like crazy too. i had also noticed the CEL (check engine light) would not turn off either when i turned the key to the on position. anything sound familar yet?

i in turn replaced my dizzy cap, rotor button, plug wires, plug's, coil, and the main relay. nothing helped me out...... as a last resort i spent $220 at the dealership on a new igniter and that's where my problem lied. car started up rought at first, had to stay on the gas a little and it finally smoothed out. good luck!

i have a 98 civic lx btw. sohc too

I didn't see where you're 100% sure you've got spark? Also, a simple tranny/block ground would keep it from starting as well. If you've got spark, then start with the crank angle sensor...

alright i got it started.. i bought a new dizzy, but it still hesitates like it used to just not as bad and is throwing a code 10 and 41 which is iat sensor and a oxygen sensor.. could that make my car hesitate?
