Default My B18C1 hybrid doesn't want to start after sitting for a few days...

It will turn over, but doesn't want to fire up. Is this a fuel issue?!

I know that ignitors have a tendency to go bad. I had to change one before I went hybrid with my stock 1.5 non-VTEC before.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

do you know how to check for spark? use a spark tester (maybe $5) and you'll know if it's your distributor. for fuel...turn the ign to on and listen for the fuel pump. if you hear it, then that's good. install a fuel pressure gauge to check that there is pressure in the rail. if you can hear the fuel pump "whirring" and it pressurizes, then i bet that it's something with your spark. try that.

Check the Ignitor...

Also, the Sump fell off of my Fuel Pump and everything was working god, but it wasnt sucking up any Fuel...Also check if your throwing any Codes

maybe the fuel filter....I doubt it's anything serious though, you shouldn't worry about it.
