check the main relay behind the driver kick panel. These often cause this. If I recall--I have been out of the crx/civic world for a few years... the main relay tells the fuel pump to kick on.

no. honda ignition systems are very effective.

funny that the OP mentioned a new cap and rotor. check the rotor screw, if the car is "rolling over" until the battery dies, my guess is that the rotor is spinning on the shaft.
