Car won't start

[93accdpj]

yeah thats what im afraid mine is, i just changed the fuel filter today because i knew it needed it and i meant to a long time ago, i dont get it though because it was running fine and then just shut off all the sudden??? what could be the cause

Mine shut off going down I 95. I trie spinnign it, but it wouldnt start. I sat for a few minutes then started it right up. Got home fuel was good. Two days later same thing. Put a damn $91 igniter in. No problems since.

...if anybody has any ideas anything would be a great help.
thank you

Diagnose the problem before you start buying parts?

i bought the part to try and diagnose the problem, it was needed anyways....like i said the button was broken off and the cap and rotor were worn to shit, but this whole time i was forgetting my brother has a wrecked 91 lx sitting at my uncle house so went n grabbed the coil n dist off of it, tried the coil...nothing....put on the distributor voila!. must have been something inside the distributor, thank you to all

im getting very pissed . i took the plug outta the fuel rail and i have plenty of preasure . its not the air filter , the dizzy , changed the plugs cap and button ,and the fuel filter . the only thing i have left to check is the injectors . has ne1 tryed that yet

[F22CB7S_A_L]

is your distributor loose at all? we didnt think it was my distributor either but when we took the whole dist off another car it started right up...could be loose fuckin up your timing

OMG...I can't believe none of you have mentioned the ECU fuses!!! One is under the hood and the other is in the inside fuse box. Both will cause the car to just shut off if they blow. I suggest checking them first before you go parts swapping.

He already fixed his problem, it was the dizzy (Distributor).

What about the other guy...ncoutlaw?

Keep your old distributor, but go ahead and take the dead ignition module out. So if you need a distributor later you wont put it in and think something else is wrong.

[ncoutlaw]

that was my next try . just gotta find one

[ncoutlaw]

does any one know if an 5th gen dizzy will fit non vtec of course

[F22CB7S_A_L]

yeah the fuses were one of the first thing we checked...forgot to mention...but yeah i save all my old parts broken or not just incase i need a screw or part or anything off of them
