Car: 1991 Honda Accord LX sedan 2.2l
Other day I was driving down the interstate doing roughly 70 when my rpms dropped to 0 and the car shut off. No warning, wasn’t overheating or running bad, missing or getting bad fuel economy, just shut off out of the blue. I put it in neutral, cut the key back and coasted to the nearest exit. Car wouldn’t start afterwards. Cranks and cranks like it wants to start but won’t turn over. No check engine light, all dash lights come on when I turn the key to on, but the check engine light goes back off. I tried to jump the two pin connector to read codes and the check engine light just comes on steadily when I jump the connector. Fuel pump is engaging and I’m getting fuel to the fuel rail at the injectors. Checked for spark and wasn’t getting any so I check power to the ignition coil and it was getting power all the way to the ignition coil in the distributor but no spark. Replaced the whole distributor because it had a bad o-ring and was leaking oil. Still not starting. Going to have a friend help me check if I’m still not getting spark tonight when I get off work, but I have a feeling it won’t be getting spark. Older friend of mine suggested it might be the crankshaft position sensor? Any advice or suggestions on what it could be or what I could test to maybe narrow it down would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.
