Crank no start - REALLY GETTING TIRED OF TYPING OUT THESE POST.
This will be the third time I try to post something in the last 4 days. Kind of getting frustrating that it says it'll have to be approved and then nothing happens. Have checked my email multiple times for anything regarding email verification or post publishing and have received nothing. where are the mods? Someone please help lol
I digress.
2003 civic 1.7 (non v-tec) automatic.
Cranks over and over but doesn't fire/start. WAS intermittent but now it won't start at all. NO CEL, NO CODES.
Before it stopped starting all together, the engine cut out on me as I slowed down(Approaching traffic light, stop sign and a turn). I don't know if it's significant at all but it cut out super quietly, nothing electric flickered or dimmed, car didn't jerk or lurch. I didn't even know it had cut off until I realized the power steering was out and the throttle was unresponsive.
I can hear the fuel pump relay and pump click/hum and prime.
I verified that I have fuel going into the rail.
I pulled the valve cover and timing housing, Verified that the timing marks are all as they should be and the belt is not loose at all.
I've checked through live data and visually through the oil fill that I have rpms registering and I can see it cranking.
I've metered the battery and alternator. Battery is like new and holding charge well. Alternator is also fairly new and charging well.
I checked all three grounds and they're all grounded.
I've been having trouble checking for spark because I'm by myself but at the beginning of this, I did have spark and I will verify again tonight that I have spark.
I've also tried running it on starting fluid. It worked once or twice and both times stayed running for about 3 or 4 minutes before dying out.
Also, I noticed it run through oil very quickly, like unusually fast but the car (when running) shows no signs of lack in performance. Antifreeze is beautifully clean and the oil stays very clean as well.
The immobilizer indicator does not continue to flash either.
I'm stumped.
