I have quite the dilemma as my civic died this afternoon while I was accelerating. I coasted into a parking lot and began trying to diagnose it.
No CEL.
Car restarts but does not stay running even with my foot on the gas it dies after a few seconds, regardless if I take my foot off the gas or not.
I unplugged the maf, map, and o2 sensor to see if it changed anything, which it did not. I also unplugged the cylinder 3 pack which did not change anything either.
With no cel it is hard to tell where to start from which is why I'm coming to the forums.
Do these symptoms seem like it could be a coil pack?
I Also checked all fuses they seem to be okay. Pretty sure fuel pump is still working im almost positive I heard it prime.
Plus I restarted it quite afewtimes if the fuel pump wasn't working wouldn't it just stop starting all together?
Please help because iI need my car to get to work on Monday!!!

 

Did you very recently put fuel in it? If so, it could be bad gas. If you did any recent work, look at that area.

-It could be the alternator and the battery has just enough juice to start but not to run.
-It could be lack of fuel pressure even though you can hear the pump priming.
-Check spark
-Check for intake air leaks
-Check for low compression

 

Thank you, I needed a place to start from when it came to diagnosing it. I will check for that to begin with.
I have a sinking feeling that the timing belt snapped, or at least jumped a tooth.
I know that these are interference engines, but how many teeth off can the timing belt be before it starts to do some damage.
