I know it's not a ITR, but I trust you guys a lot more, so here is my post copied from the Integra forum.

I drove home Sunday night 50 miles with no problems. Turned the car off, went out to start it a couple hours later and it just cranked. I installed a stereo on Saturday, but I don't see how it could be a factor.

Things I've done so far:
Changed the battery.
Checked spark, had spark on all 4 cylinders.
I can hear the fuel pump and rail.

I pulled the distributor cap and the rotor looks a bit scorched and the nodes on the cap look corroded a bit. I'm about to crank it and pull a plug to make sure I'm getting fuel.

Any suggestions?

TIA

Update, just cranked and pulled a plug. It was wet with gas so that ruled that out.

Checked spark again and it was definantely blue, which from what I understand means a weak spark. Not enough to ignite the fuel?

I'm going to track down a cap and rotor and see what that does.


99 GSR with 59k btw.

 

might as well get new plugs while yer at it.

 

Don't trust us, we are elitests and only care about Rs and ourselfs
Make sure you put the wires back on right.

 

Lol, I am an elitist nutswinger.

The plugs and wires are 10k old, plugs aren't platinum though.

Haha, the wires are on right .

 

i dont have platinum plugs either

 

fuel issue, maybe ignitor

The plugs were wet with fuel, it's a weak spark of some sort I would think. After looking at the condition of the rotor I would suspect that it was that. So I'm going to change that out in the morning then go from there.

 

could be the coil or ignitor...j00 check if j00 have spark at all?

Yea, re-read the post. I'm going to replace the cap & rotor tomorrow morning cause no one had one today and see what that does. The rotor looks like poo. If that doesn't work then I'm going to check the coil & ignitor. If it's not that then I'm going to have to check if I jumped teeth .

 

I replaced the rotor and cap. It started

It definantely runs much better than before, I'm suprised I didn't notice.
