Default 92 Accord Quit This Morning

For about the past couple months my 92 accord has been stalling while cruising down the road 55-60mph. Would usually start right back up. I blamed it on bad gas and have been meaning to change the fuel filter. This morning, while taking my daughter to school (First Day!) it quit on me and would not start back up at all. As I cranked it, I didn't notice any gas smell, like one would suspect. I am leaning toward a fuel pump. Any thoughts or suggestions on a sure sign of a failed pump? Thanks!

When you turn on the key you should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds.
You can also easily prove fuel pressure by loosening the fitting at the fuel rail, then see if gas sprays all over the place when you turn on the key.

From your description of the problem I would check other things as well, such as ignition switch output, coil, ignitor.

When you turn on the key the check engine light should go on, after few seconds it should go off then you should hear a click(ing?) sound from the relay, if you don't hear that sound then check your mainrelay.

I verified tonight that I am not getting any spark. I replaced the ditributor, cap, rotor, plug and wires a little more than a year ago. Any diags on the web somewhere to help me narrow this down? Thanks all.

Check your commutator(replace), it's inside the distributor.

Would that have come with a new distributor that I put one a year + ago? Could it go bad already? How can I test the coil? If I pulled the wire from the dist. cap that comes from the coil and spark tested it, should I get spark right from there? If no spark, can I assume the coil? Or can I measure the voltage directly from the coil output? Thanks for all the help!

Its def dizzy related. Try to find a known working dizzy and try it. Dont forget to mark for timing, or get it set after installation.
