CAR WONT START!!! PLEASE HELP!!! (already searched)
 

Hey everyone.. Been a long time reader of HT forums, but first time registering. Anyway heres the deal:

Two weeks ago I went to leave my job and my car wouldnt start so I had it towed home. Next day I check over fuses, connections, etc. It starts raining and my day is over. Next day I replace the fuel filter and it starts after a few seconds of cranking. I go out of town and leave my car at home, and when I got home that night I went to start it and nothing.. Hasnt started since. My relay isn't clicking on and my cel stays on. ECU is not throwing any codes either. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif I replace my distributor cap, rotor, plug wires, plugs, and I checked my harness according to the Helms manual and all seems good.. Im getting power to the relay, but the relay isnt clicking on.. However as of yesterday I am not getting spark either. So no fuel, and no spark. Car cranks fine though. I replaced my main relay with a used one, and no luck. Not going to rule it out because, after all, I did buy it used. Its been two weeks without a car.. I am thinking of just bringing it to Honda and shelling out the dough to have them diagnose it http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif Any help would be greatly appreciated as my honda dealer wont take my car until wednesday.. I have a few days for last stitch efforts.. PLEASE HELP!!!

OK.. in case anyone is interested, i finally got my car running after a few days of getting screwed around by Honda and another mechanic. To make a long story short, my coil arc'd to one of the wires in the distributor therefore burning up my distributor and frying my ecu http://images.honda-tech.com/set1//smile/emcrook.gif However, after being quoted almost a thousand dollars by the good people at Honda, I take it to another mechanic because I am in slight disbelief of the low probability of the arcing that devastated my pimp ride. He quotes me 850. Needless to say, I towed my car home and bought a JUN chipped ECU and stock distributor from a friend of a friend for $150 https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif Now my car runs very nice to say the least https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif I have pics of what your coil SHOULD NOT look like. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll post them ASAP.. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif
