ok so yesterday i went out to start to start my car ( i have bad cold start so i thought it was just normal, but it was kind of hard to start ) well it started and ran for about 5 mins and then stopped , and wouldnt stat again, i pulled off the cap and didnt see anything wrong , so i put it back on , pulled a plug and it looked good, then tried to start it agian and nothing, later on in the day it would start and then last night it wouldnt start at all, so i did exactly what i did earlier in the day and still nothing, this morning i went out and checked the coil and its working the rotor seems to be in good condition and all the fuses and relays are working im about to pul a plug to see if im getting spark. but can anyone thinks of anything that can be wrong?

its a b18c1

 

I can think of one major problem right off the bat.

Make a descriptive title or you will get no help.

"Guessing" what could be wrong with the information you have given puts those behind the computer screen 10 steps behind you.

Check CEL's? Fuel pressure?

Not to be the Hater-tech poster but everyones gotta help everyone out to get somewhere, ya know?

 

well i have
- tested the coil
- rotor is good
- main relay "clicks" when you turn the key on to where the dash lights come on
- i can hear the fuel pump kick on
- no blown fuses
- starter is good
- just tried it again and then pulled a plug and smelled gas

Replace the fuel filter if you have not done so recently. If that does not solve it borrow a like distributor out of a running car. If it runs you may have a bad ignitor. Buy a brand new Dizi if thats the case.

All this assuming you have no CEL's and everything was in check before (it did run).

Also, you might as well change the oil as soon as you get it all worked out, depending on how many times you've cranked it over.

 

that really sounds like a main relay.....just because the relay "clicks" doesnt mean voltage is getting through....test it for continuity or if you dont know how, just replace it with a known GOOD relay

 

last night it started and stills strats this morning so idk ill see later if it still does

 

If you hear the pump priming changes are the relay was working, at that time. But this seems to be too intermittent. Hopefully you get a CEL soon.

All you can do is start testing components and make sure everything is working within spec.
