Is the cap new? Mine had water inside the cap causing no spark.

hey i need some help. i have a 95 prelude si with a h22a swap, i just bought the car and i was running some tests for the ac fans, cuz they dont wanna kick on, but while i was doing that, something got fried! when i try to start the car (press in clutch and turn ignition) it clicks loudly then shuts off, then the power wont come on for a good 5 mins or so and it does the same thing everytime! and i have another question what do the black with a yellow stripe and black wires with a female side adapt. go? thanks!

cam sensor? that would prevent it starting.... not sure what year your h22 is so i thought i would throw that out there... but gas could be the problem like yuyodrift said, but i would start checking some of the vital sensors......

its not a gas thing i can asure you bro. it started up just fine today, then i started messing with those two wires i mentioned and i paperclipped it and something shorted it might be my main relay thats what im thinking. but it just clicks and shuts all power off then power comes back after about 5 mins or so, it does that everytime, and i just wondered where that connector goes i was trying to get it to throw a code instead it fried something. now it wont start at all. power shuts off everytime i try to start it, and its got a brand new battery

I am having kinda the same issue. The car started but died. I hear the gas pump come on and I am getting gas and spark. Don't won't start I am not getting any codes. Before I would always get a misfired 1 then 2 and 3 and 4 I cleared it and it would come back just to one changed plugs and wires. The cap and rotor. I just changed the main relay and it didn't help. It's flooding the spark plug. Any ideas

The most economical choice here is to just replace the entire engine.

FYI I know cars but makes no since. Cranks getting gas and spark. Fuses are good. What the hell is the problem you don't even know. Timing Is right and the belt is not broken. If your such a bad *** what do you say it is

Run a compression test to see if your motor is in good shape or not.
