ignition sparks....need help
ok....I just got a 98 stock prelude vtec for 5-6 months and its been running fine til yesterday. Now my car wont start anymore. Motor is virgin and never been touch. I have no clue whats going on and I dont know what to do anymore. It cranks like its about to start but it just wont start. NO CEL
Ive check the following:
-Timing belt has not snap
-check fuses
-changed the module inside the distributor, still no spark
-changed the 5th spark plug ignition coil and still no spark
-change spark plugs
-turn the key and I can hear the fuel pump
could it be the main relay? if so where is it located? Should I changed the whole distributor? its a bit pricey thats why I changed the controll module inside the distribuotor and still no spark....
sorry for the newb question....Im not a H series guy.....more of a B series guy but I think its similiar........
any inputs or advice is greatly appreciated.....

haha, it sounds like what my car just went through.
I had to change the Electronic Ignition Switch.
So does your car actually start up, but dies after u let off the ignition?

Re: ignition sparks....need help (DOHC4VTEC)
they got called me and say it could be my the car key causing the ignition to shut down on me or something like that ...who knows, there's no honest shop these days......
my question is:
I have 3 keys to the car and 2 keys are black while one has a pink on it......could the spare pink key cause my car to shut down? All the keys are honda oem chipped keys.
Could my ecu go bad?
