Default Car dies, Will not start......exhausted efforts...

I have tried searching first of all and tried all efforts. Here's the problem.

Car is a 90 Accord w/h22a. Was driving down highway when tach needle starts overreving, back to normal, then under revs and at same time car sounds like its misfiring (but engine doesn't rev with tach). CEL blinks on then off. Happened a couple times, then dies and coasts to stop. When it died, CEL came on. Car will not start. I check the CEL and there is no code! Check and find no spark and no fuel (do not hear fuel pump prime). Changed main relay with NEW one. Car still dead. Changed ECUs with my stock p13 (had chipped p28). Car still dead. Took aftermarket ignition off, put internal coil back on. Car still dead. All fuses and all grounds are GOOD. Car still dead. It is not battery, cus I jump off and still doesn't start. Please help me because I feel I have looked over everything. Please what have I missed or can try.

Same exact thing happened to me. My main ground broke loose while I was driving. Check your grounds.

its always the obvious things we overlook!

shoot I've torn apart an oil pump before just to find out it was a bad pressure sensor to the guage...never crossed my mind that the dummy light wasn't on!!!

Yes! I am so glad to help. I am looking at my recent topics and I was 0/3 on why stuff was broken. Finally got one right! That was kind of O/T but glad you got it working. Aren't H22 4th gen accords the greatest? I love to spank my wife in her 95 Del Sol VTEC. Sadly, she is going turbo this summer so I will enjoy it while I can.

Sorry, O/T. Glad your problem is solved.
