1998 Civic won't start
I'm having issues with my 1998 Civic - it won't start.
Its a 1.5 litre automatic. I had the ignition coil and spark plugs changed a month ago (the engine suddenly stopped in the middle of the road and refused to start), and it started having issues again 2 weeks later. On some days it started fine, on other days the engine sort of coughed in the beginning for a few seconds and then it managed to start. A few days ago it didn't start at all, not even promising a single combustion.
When I turn the ignition the engine starts rotating as usual, the starter works, the battery is full, there's plenty of gas in the tank, I hear no rattling noises in the engine, the gear is in park, and I smell gas afterwards, but it wont start. I would suspect the ignition coil, but it was just changed a month ago.
Would anybody have any insights on what could be wrong?
Thanks
