Have a 00 civic ex all stock was driving it and started to bogg and died and hasnt started since then checked it has spark and fuel but wont start seems like it is but dosent checked the spark plugs and are soaked in gas..... what could it be HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

 

If your plugs are soaked in gas DON'T try starting your car. Get it checked out by a pro. Gas leaks ain't no joke.

 

Is the Cel on?

 

Sounds like something to do with the distributor

 

no cel

 

Check whether the timing belt slipped or snapped.

 

anything else

 

I know you checked for spark, but If it was bogging down more and more as you gave it more throttle, and possibly the CEL was flashing... please try this:

take your distributor cap off, then the rotor... undo the 2 screws to the coil and check to see if there is any discoloration on the metal case of the coil... if so it could be the coil...

otherwise it could be a whole list of other things... any other symptoms/specifics?

 

ummm no just wont start has fuel and spark tryed a working dizzy and nothing could it be that the timming slipped

 

checked the timming and its good

 

Have you compression tested the cylinders?

Is spark at the plugs bright white bluish or weak orange?

 

yup checked the compression good all across it sparks but havent checked what color

 

Weak spark could indicate a bad coil.

 

even tho ur still getting gas, id check the fuel pump and filter....pump could be weak or filter could be getting clogged....GOOD LUCK THO!!!

 

You may have fouled the plugs.. replace the plugs? FWIW..How are you testing for spark?

 

daym son.. GL yo

 

If an engine is flooded with fuel while it is being cranked, gasoline can soak the plugs and bleed off the ignition voltage before it forms a spark. On fuel injected engines, wet fouling is less of a problem but can happen if a cold start injector leaks or there is a fuel calibration problem that creates an overly rich startup mixture. The cure in all cases is to wait for the plugs to dry out, or to remove the plugs and clean or replace them.

 

change the pump and filter and nothing ..... im checking for spark by putting a screw driver in the #1 plug wire

 

hold teh throttle all the way open for a few minutes, then while holding it only slightly open, attempt to start the car, what is the result?

x2 on a possible spark plug fouling though

 

has a new pump and filter. tryed a working dizzy bought new plugs and nothing help !!!!!!!!!

 

One of your tests probably was not done correctly or was misinterpreted.

Does the CEL work?

Double check the mechanical timing (see earlier diagram) and the cylinder compression.

What color is spark? Be sure to check spark at all four plugs as described here.

 

gas?

 

I'll double check every right now I'm frusterated:0( can't get it goin

 

sounds like an injector problem.... if you have an injector that sticks open, the motor will bogg and die....if you have spark, compression, and fuel, the car should start.....your motor is probably flooded right now if it isnt starting....to get it running again, turn the key and crank and keep it cranking with the gas pedal to the floor. dont worry, you wont flood the motor even more. when u put the pedal all the way to the floor it cuts off the injectors
