I have a 87 CRX HF, yes old school, and I was driving my gf home and it shut off. Not stalling sitting still I mean 60mph boom stops running. So I pull over, check for any obvious things, none. Try starting it turns over and over and just wont do anything. Luckily my friend was behind us he towed my car home. I checked for spark and the car turns over and sparks right when it turns over and thats it, so like one or two sparks is all I see. It is getting gas. I changed the coil and put a new rotor in. Any ideas? I am lost, the car is for sale and this is not a good way to sell a car.

 

t- belt sounds like it broke or some teeth on the belt ripped off

 

Check your distributor rotor. Happened to me when I was on the freeway too doing 70mph. I got home and check the rotor and the screw came loose. All it took was a slight misalignment of the rotor to cause it not to start.

 

definatly sounds like some sort of an electrical problem

 

well the rotor is on, I will make sure it is tight. i started to take the t-belt cover off but got side tracked looking around the dizzy, could it be an ignition switch?

 

ok the timing belt was fine
