ok guys, tonight i stopped to get gas, turned off the car, realized i stopped too far from the pump so i tried to move it up some, i turned the key, starter turned, tights turned on everything was normal except it didnt start, i checked all fuses, good, car has 1/4 tank, i checked plugs, no spark in any cylinder, i pulled spark plug wire from dist, held end from wire to dist and it sparked like it should, i pulled plug, tried to spark out of cylinder, no spark...

im thinking the spark plug wires are bad, i havent changed them since i had the car (got it in october) but all 4 shouldnt go bad at the same time should they? i did put new plugs in about a week ago but didnt change the wires or dist coil. and i changed the oil 2 days ago.

the car is a STOCK base automatic 2000 prelude with 127,000 miles

HELP!!
thanks in advance

 

if you didnt install new spark plug wires, distributer cap and rotor when you installed new spark plugs. then i would do that.

 

all 4 spark plugs wires going out at the same exact time...you'll probably win the lotto before that ever happens.

yeah your the 3rd person to tell me that today, i think im gonna buy a ticket tomorrow lol

i basically did a tune up today, i changed the plugs, wires and dist, got a spark out of all 4 plugs, no ignition. gas is in the tank, but im starting to think the motors not getting enough fuel... last night when i was checking the plugs i noticed vapor coming out of the open spark plug hole when someone turned the key, so i ruled out that the motor was not getting enough fuel, but im starting to think maby its not getting any gas.. im gonna take it to a friends shop tomorrow and see what he thinks.

any suggestions?

 

hmmm... well if you smell gas then you're probably getting gas. have you checked your timing?
oh how much it must've sucked to have your car crap out on you out of nowhere!

yeah it sucked, alot. but my insurance tows for free so that was a plus. but the timing was perfect a few weeks ago when we did the water pump so i wouldnt think it would jump a few teeth pulling into the gas station, unless my car was telling me to stay away from 7-11. im starting to think i got into some bad gas, i havent filled up at shell in about 2 weeks so that may have been my mistake... i should know tomorrow for sure when i get it pulled apart, i got held up at work and didnt have time to do it today
