Try your main relay....Most common thing for honda's or Acura's too Fuc* up and easiest too fix...Or could also be your coil, also really easy too fix

it could be anything. Always remember that their is only three possibilities in a "no start" situation. Its either, air, spark, or fuel. Always start with fuses and relays, check air, than move to your spark, than finally your fuel.

Make sure you air filter is clean, intake tube is clear, throttle body is clear, and check common vacuum hoses

Did you check all your relays and fuses? Also check the starter just to make sure. If so than move onto your spark. Just check and make sure you have spark at all 4 cylinders at the plugs. If you dont than start moving into the dizzy. If you do have spark, check your fuel pump and fuel filter

Does your fuel pump prime? If not check the main relay. Check for spark too, honda distributors are known to go bad. I would check your fuses as well.

wen u say it doesnt start, do u mean it doesnt crank over? or it cranks over but doesnt start?

if its cranking over but wont start, pull a plug and plug wire and check if u have spark. if not, check the ignition system. u can do this with a multimeter, just download the factory service manual for your car and look up ignition system troubleshooting. you can VERY easily check if your distributor is good, just check resistances across the prongs of the connector that plugs into it. all this can be found in the service manual.

if its not getting spark, i would assume its the ignition control module, sometimes they dont work right if they heat up (this would make ense, because ur car runs first and heats up, and then wont start again after you shut off). do the troubleshooting according to the the service manual, but you can pull ur ignition control module and have it tested at most auto parts stores.

if you are in fact getting spark when the car doesnt wanna turn on, check fuel pressue when the car doesnt wanna start and go from there.
