last night i was at a stoplight, and as soon as i took off, my car died. i thought it was the fuel pump, so i replaced it. still won't start. checked the plugs, fine. checked spark.......no spark! replaced the ignitor and ignition coil. still won't start, and still no spark. lately the car has been taking a little more time than usual to start. just takes a few more cranks from the starter than usual. that's what made me think it could be the fuel pump. oh yeah, i am also getting fuel. i am not getting a check engine light. i'm thinking maybe it's the ECU??? i'm really stumped and would appericiate any help! thanks

 

try replacing the cap and rotor, if you're not getting any spark it's a good chance it's something to do with the distributor.

 

the car only has 40000, the cap and rotor should be fine. i inspected them both and there isn't any substantial wear on either. i think it's gonna be something more complicated. thanks for the help though

 

fuses, fuses, fuses

 

checked all fuses. under the hood and in the cab. had a blown horn fuse. i replaced it. no difference

 

well if I was you I would change the cap and rotor for sanity sake. It could be something that simple.

 

You thought it was the fuel pump so you replaced it with out checking? haha on 99? I have put a lot of miles on hondas...never had one break on me.

 

You thought it was the fuel pump so you replaced it with out checking? hahaha on a 99?hahaha I have put a lot of miles on hondas...never had a fuel pump break on me. Sorry...I know this doesn't help your problem...it has to be something simple...starter? battery...fuses
please post what was wrong when you find out...I'd like to know.

 

check all of the wires

 

the fuel pump was bad. i did check it before i replaced it. otherwise i wouldn't have even bothered.

 

i put a distributor from a friends car on mine and it started up. found the problem. i'm goin to get me a new one. thanks to everyone for all your help.

 

THat's what I've done before and that's what I'll always do first.. Borrow a friend's part and see if it works on my car.. Good thinking!
