Just got the motor put in this CRX I just bought. It's a D15B8 w/D16A6 head. Fired it up for the first time last night and it ran perfect, topped off the coolant and took it out for a drive. Got about 1/2 mi down the road and the motor died, and wouldn't start back up. So I towed it home and worked on it today. I couldn't find anyting wrong so I worked on some other stuff. After I was done, I tried to start it and it fired right up, ran for about 5 seconds and then died. After that if wouldn't start anymore. It isn't getting any spark. I tried swapping the coil but that didn't do anything. It doesn't seem to be the main relay either, since it's getting fuel. I'm going to try a different distributer when I can find one. Anyone have any other ideas?

 

fuel sounds like fuel man not getting it!

 

I'm pretty sure it's getting fuel, you can smell gas after cranking it. It isn't getting any spark though, I'm sure of that. The coil is getting power and not loosing it while cranking, so I'm guessing somethings wrong with the distributor. It's just funny how it runs perfect then dies.
