Whats wrong with my car. 98 Civic EX Coupe
Drove the car about a block and it died. It fires but won't turn over. So its not battery/altenator related.(i would say) I check the timing belt and pulled the cover and its all good. I would say it has got to be fuel or spark. Anyway i can check so I can get the car out of the damn intersection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS!!!!

So your car is blocking the intersection? LOL
To check sparks, pull one spark plug out, leaving the other 3 on. With the one spark plug being intact with the spark plug wire, pin it down to your chasis somewhere (to ground it) and have someone crank the motor. Repeat through the other plugs.

I dont think it is going to be a plug. I was thinking like ful pump or something. What about a crank shaft sensor? A buddy of mines veicle died and that's why? Do Honda's even have those? I have no idea what it even is.

Looks like it could be the ignitor or the coil.... If there is not a spark. These are located in the Distibutor. Hope this helps.
