Check each fuse in the engine bay and the driver side kickboard with a multimeter for continuity.

Timing belt.

Does it sound strange compared to before it died when you crank it? Take the oil fill cap off and shine a flash light down into the valve cover while someone cranks the engine. Its not going to hurt it anymore than it may have already with all those attempted starts. If you don't see the cams shafts doing anything then you've got your answer.

By the way, the thread title makes no sense. If the car was starting you wouldn't have a problem. You have it backwards, I think you meant to say, engine cranks but no start.

He said it has no spark.. WTF is starting fluid gonna do? Do they have canned spark now? Seriously dude, read the post before you reply next time. When someone needs help - real help - replies like this are counter productive and turn people off to the forums. Anyone who has replaced all the stuff this guy has is way past starting fluid. And besides starting fluid doesn't fix anything, he's trying to fix the car not do lame ****.

Doh! I earned that...

Two things though - I am no noob just mostly lurker for a long time. I have had like ten user names.. I come back and forget my info from time to time when I do Hondas. Second, soark = spark was over my head.

You are thinking fuel pump so am I -- Now.

My bad dood.
