Default Won't start.

1991 JDM B18A Acura Integra.. I was sitting at a light yesterday went to take off and it just died on me ans wouldnt start again. I have checked spark and fuel I am getting both. I changed the rotor and the cap because I thought I found the problem . The rotor was broken and all wobble wonky in the cap. So I figured that with it broke even though I was getting spark it was out of time. Now still won't start. Is it possible it could another part of the distributor? I'm at a loss here. BTW main relay is good. Also checked the ecu since it's old school with red light and it isn't throwing codes? ANY HELP I'm at a loss.

When you "went to take off" was it smooth or was it a WOT, [spinning tires]?

If it was a WOT launch, you may have skipped a tooth or two on the timing belt, check mechanical timing.

Also confirm you have power, [12V+] at the injectors, [lead that is the same color at each injector] with ign. switch in both the run AND the start position. 94

You also said, "BTW main relay is good" how did you check it? 94

Yes like fcm said, check the obvious first. Spark and fuel. I'm going out on a limb here, but when I owned an integra gsr, the electronic load detector (in the under hood fuse box) intermittently gave me problems with randomly dying and not starting again. I'm not sure if the earlier teg's had an eld or not. Can anyone confirm that?
