Default Motor died while driving
My friends 90 EX sedan died while driving last night. we got it towed. Today I checked spark and fuel, both are there. What am I missing? No codes. It just cranks and sputters. Any suggestions???

No fuses are blown? No codes blinking on ECU? This sucks...

Check your distributor rotor- sometimes the screw comes loose.

get a new honda cap and rotor (@24$) it comes with a new 3mm allen head screw with thread lock on it. It will never back out on its own.
