91 Honda civic dx 4door crank, but no start
to make a long story short, one day it just randomly died at a red light and had to push it home. so since then ive thrown a brand dizzy, tried 2 known working ecu's with no codes being displayed. fuel pump primes, main relay clicks, battery has power, obviously starter is good. please help I have no other ideas of what could be wrong.
Make sure you're actually getting fuel. Pop the line off the fuel filter, get a container and switch the ignition to "ON" position and see if it pours out fuel.
Check for spark.
Check each little connector on the main relay.
Make sure your dizzy rotor hasn't fallen off.

Get a fuel gauge and check the psi. Should be about 40~ IIRC.
first thing to do is check for spark. if no spark leave the distributor cap off and have someone crank the car. see if the ignition rotor spins, if it doesn't spin then the timing belt tooth is stripped from the belt.

@ 90efzc still havent checked the fuel pressure yet.
@ hondawizard it has spark and the rotor does spin everything is brand new new dizzy rotor spark plugs and cables.

same thing happend to me ....and i a changed the dizzy and still the same prob.. the prob was that when putting on the dizzy...i put it on on the wrong position..meaning take it of and spin it one turn and then put in back on then crank it up
Do the dash lights and battery indicator come on when the key is turned to the "on" position? If not chances are it's the ignition switch wires.
When you turn the key on, listen for your fuel pump running - if it isn't running, chances are that your main relay is gone. I just replaced mine in my 1989 dx sedan. It would shut off now and then by itself, and then not restart. Try thumping the dash by the lower kick panel on the driver's side. Sometimes that will reset it. It's not unusual for the relay to go bad - there were some problems with the solder on the original ones. Good Luck!
