Honda Techinicians, Car wont start need guidance
It started here.... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1121792
So now I have changed the fuel filter, cap, rotor, plugs. Timing belt is still in place.
When you turn the ignition over the engine just fires, kinda fast. Fuel pump does come on and the ECU does not flash any codes. What could be the problem?

you may have a valve that is stuck upen. that would make the motor turn over really fast. its caused by a loss of compresion

Check your ignition switch (AKA ignition starter switch). My symptoms were that I could start "turn over" the car for one second, but it would immediately die after I let go of the key. If I wiggled/shook the key in the ignition I could sometimes get it to start and stay running. Replaced Ignition switch and the car started right up. Ignition switch took me about 20 minutes to replace in the dark. Cost was $78 plus tax at Checker Auto Parts.
