My 90 crx won't start and at first I thought it was the starter. Looked under the hood though and when the key is turned, i know the crank is turning because the belts are moving. Thus, I think it's probably an issue with fuel delivery or spark. I checked the distributor and rotor and those seem okay. What do you guys think? Fuel pump? If I pour some gas straight into the TB it will turn over slightly but just die. Otherwise the motor just spins when trying to crank it. Any advice/ideas would be appreciated

 

see if exactly you hvae spark in all four cylindar's. just take out your spark plug wire and spark plug, and put it in the wire, have someone turn it over a very shortly a couple of times and see if u are gettin spark to the spark plugs.

also, crank it over a few times with all the spark plugs out, and see if u smell fuel inside the cylindars. those 2 troubleshooting ways should see where your problem is coming from.

 

check main relay near the under dash fuse box. sounds like the classic symptoms...fuel pump not turning on.

 

check that stupid button thats on the pedal rack for the clutch! make sure everything lines up! happen to me before! Hope u know what i'm talking about...some many things

 

You and I are in the same shoe. Whenever you get your car going, let me know what you did so perhaps I can do the same for mine.

 

Sounds like the Main Relay to me.

Turn the Key to ACCII and if you don't hear the fuel pump come on replace the main relay.

I have a How To about this on my site...

To anyone that's interested, I did replace the main relay and the car is starting fine now. I had a look at the old one and most of the solder connections were pretty shoddy, so instead of going thru the trouble of repairing all of them I just bought a new main relay from pep boys and replaced it. About $57 for anyone that's wondering

Thanks for anyone that helped me out

 

dude, i resoldered all of mine and it only cost me the solder! =P~

I could have done the soldering for you and saved you $57 bucks man!
