started up my car let it warm for 10 mins. drove it down the street, starting bogging. then died. tried starting it, it cranks but it wont start and sometimes it wont even crank. no CEL or anything. help anyone?

 

Is the car off the street?
If not, get it to your garage asap.

First, you need to check the basics.
Is the air filter clogged?
Do you have fuel pressure?
Does it have spark?
Is there enough compression to start?

After that, check... aaaaaa **** it... just check you battery grounds. It sounds like your starter might be taking a crap. Get the engine to crank over first and we'll go from there. Also, check for a CEL at key on. Does it come on, you hear the fuel pump come on and then goes off?

 

everything is there, it cranks up fine now. just no sparks. could it be the immobilizer?

 

Is your green key light flashing?
Did the cel go out?

 

Check to see if any of the spark plug wires came loose from the dizzy.

 

check that. all plugs are flushed in. we stuck a screwdriver in the spark end and it didnt spark.

 

cel went out and the green light went out too. i think... i cant remember. i have to put back in my distributor and try it again. try taking the distributor to the the local Acura dealership and they were gonna rip me off by having me take in my car. lol

EDIT: the CEL and the Green light both went out.

 

Can you check the voltage to the dizzy?
Do you have access to a multimeter?
Once you check that, we can condemn your dizzy.

Hear:
Check your dizzy using the colors on the right (OBD2)

 

how do you do that?>

 

Unplug your dizzy.
With someone cranking the engine over, check your positive (+) wires from the diagram above. See what they put out. I think some might be just signals, so you might not see 12V+.
But just to make sure, find the heavy gauge Blk/Ylw wire. That is you ignition coil (+). Measure that with your multimeter. If it shows 12v+ while cranking, then it usually means your ignition coil took a dump. Which you can buy and replace, instead of buying a whole dizzy.

 

Better with pics...

 

check dizzy fo sho!

 

make sure the timing belt didnt break

 

nevermind i fixed it. it was my coil inside the distributor.

 

cool. atleast it was an easy fix. glad to hear

 

99% cause of Honda 'no start' issue

 

Keep a few ignitors and coils around, honda's like to eat them!

 

might be installing a MSD coil soon if that keeps up.

 

Don;t waste your money. OEM is more than enough.
