i was driving my car all of a sudden **** just shakes and dies out (no, i didn't stall my car). now the car won't start up. whenever i turn the key it sounds like its about to start up but then it dies out again. i'm pretty sure it's not the altenator cause the electricity's fine. car's now parked on the side of road ready for thieves. need help a.s.a.p. thanks.

 

What mods?anything electrical changed from OEM?

 

nope all bonestock.

 

Has to be something electical like- distributor or dizzy?

 

thanks i'll take a look at that.

 

I had the same thing happen to my CRX. After inspecting the plugs and t belt I found that the screw that held my rotor button on the distributor shaft fell out. Put it back in and Vrroomm. Worth a shot.
