Default '90 CRX w/ a B16A2 just died on me and will not start

Last night i was driving down the road, the car was runnin perfect, then out of nowhere the CEL turns on and a split second after that the engine shuts off(no sputter before it shuts off, jus completely shuts off) and i coast to a stop. the b16a2 has been converted to obdI. so right now the car wont start. its not the battery b/c it is trying to turnover, could there be something wrong w/ the fuel pump? or mayb it isnt sparking? i have no idea as of right now so any help would be much appreciated.

i just found out when i turn the hey in the ignition, not all the way to start it, theres a clicking coming from the solenoid thats attached to the intake manifold and located on the back of the IM(i dunno what its called), its not that air flow sensor, could be something to do w/ the fuel...when sitting in the drivers seat there also clicking coming from the left side of the dash, which makes me think of something to do w/ the fuel

take out the spark plug wires and you can either do it right..get a spark plug tester plug it into the wires like a regular spark plug while someone cranks and see if that wire is sparking..or just ground out the wire with a screwdriver..do it for all four starting wit #1 if your gettin spark then i would check for compression..maybe your timing is off also..if all is good you know your problem is fuel

all the clicking your hearing is most likely relays, nothing to worry about. like the last post just start wit spark. then move on to fuel. check to see if you are throwing any codes as well good luck man

Codes? Your CEL came on, it should have stored a code right then.
