Please DO NOT Post In The General Section
From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.
The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.
For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.
Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.
Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

2. it could be a main relay
3. if your car starts up but has no power ex:no headlights,radio,etc....it is more then likley the alternator....this last one is my issue with my coupe
out of these 3,from what i understand,i would say it's the first.....more info if you could,and i could be a little more dead on

if you spray starting fluid into the intake and it starts up, runs for about 1.5 seconds, then dies, its either fuel pump or relay..id change the relay first tho dont do what i did and change my fuel pump only to learn the pump was still good but a bad relay..but when you say its got fuel, are you saying you checked pressure at the rail, or ya just know theres gas in the tank? when my relay went out and i tried starting with starting fluid it would run for a sec, then violently shake while it died..scared the shit outa me..Originally posted by chessboxerWe know these are good cars, but for some reason, all the world wants are freaking civics and tegs. Bleck.

Do you hear the fuel pump prime? If you do, the pump is probably fine.
I'd be more suspicious of an ignition related component. I just had to replace the coil wire on my prelude because it was bad. I got spark and it looked just fine. I got fuel and the timing was fine. I checked the resistance in the ignition wires and the coil had very high resistance. It would allow spark, but a weak one. Replaced it with new and now the car runs great.
Check the ignitor, plug wires, coil, rotor, cap and plugs first. I'll almost be willing to put money on ignition.
