*SMARTASS COMMENT* Was there gas in the tank? /smartass comment.

Other than that, I am stumped. If it isn't throwing a code, Im not sure what it could be... Would like to find out though.

 

yes. i asked the same thing. i wish it were something that simple!

 

Well how sure are you that there was gas in there? Just cause the needle says so doesnt mean its true. Whats the car doing when you try to start it?

 

How did you check the fuel pump? And did you listen to the mail relay to hear if it clicked? Check the main relay.

 

How many miles does it have, when was the last time the timing belt was replaced?

Wouldn't a snapped timing belt throw a code due to the timing sensors going haywire due to the disorientation of the crank and cams?

Nope, car will shut off and show no signs.

Nope, it didn't throw a code on my Teg when it happened. Luckily I had it towed and did not attempt to start it and the we discovered the problem.

 

i did hear the main relay click and the fuel pump is running. gas sprays out when i loosen the banjo bolt on top of the fuel filter. the car has 110,000 miles and was recently (6 months ago) purchased from a reputable honda dealer. we are going to look at the timing belt next. will let y'all know what we find. gosh! i'm glad CRX isn't this big of a pain-in-the-***!

CRX's have timing belts too.
