I need help trying to figure out whats causing my car not to start. I have a '92 Civic VX 1.5L and Sunday it was just idling in the garage when it just quit. It cranks but no start. I replaced the Main Relay ($60) that controls the fuel pump & ECU still nothing, then put a new cap & coil on, and still nothing. The one thing I haven't replaced is the Igniter yet because of the cost ($95). Is there anyway to test it to be sure it's bad?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I put a new coil on still no spark. Battery is fine, and fuel is coming out of fuel filter.
I just cracked open the fitting at the filter to see if I was really getting fuel.
You think it might be an igniter?

Thanks

Replace all your engine grounds. thats what fixed my problem with the car not starting

see my post in the link above. Test the ICM, if it's broke, get a new one, if not check your grounds

I finally found out what was causing the no start. The ground wires that bolt to the thermostat housing where loose. I noticed the CEL light was dim with the key in the "on" position and fiqured it must be a ground problem. So I spent $60 for the relay for nothing, but now I know for future referance.
Thanks for everyones help, everyones suggestions where greatly appreciated.
