I hit up a couple every other month or so when i need things. I always look for cb7 flushies but no luck on those, gonna try the vigor flush just to keep with my non original cb7 theme. Stuff like rear mudflaps are all day everywhere though, and sometimes leather interiors, but seats are never good.

Well today this car left me stranded
It was 2deg C (35F), raining and miserable outside. I just finished a 8am appointment to get the winter tires re-blanced and this appointment went smoothly. 10min down the highway as I smiled at the great balancing job the shop had done the engine shutoff for 1 second and then came back to life. The RPMs actualy dropped to 0, and less than 1 second later back up and running fine.
5min later the car just shut off. No warning, no sputter, off. Lights and everything were still on but the motor was not firing. I coasted into a parking lot where I tried starting the car again. Nothing. It was dead. It would crank over but no movement of the rpm gauge and no start.
I messed with it for 30min and I could not find anything wrong. My thought was that there was no fuel being delievered. With no tools and no solutions, I called a tow truck. I had it towed to a garage I've been to before and as the hours passed until i could get in I tried to fix it myself.
- Checked all the fuses = good
- Checked power getting to the fuel pump = good
- Checked fuel pump was powering on = good
- Took out main relay and inspected it = good
- Re-checked distributor wires and other loose connections = good
The guys finally pulled it into the bay and we quickly determined that there was no spark. The coil was getting voltages, but there was no spark coming from the coil. So three things it could be here:
1. The distributor
2. The ignitor (sends signal to coil I believe)
3. The rotor/cap (but they looked fine)
....... in the end I had to leave the car. It really left me stranded today when I needed it the most and I am not happy.

I've had this incident twice with 2 different accords I've owned, ended up being distributor, and like you said, without warning, BAM car is as dead as a nit.Last edited by Jarrett; 01-21-2014, 04:29 PM.

Soo car runs great now. I was racing a BMW e34 on the highway tonight (not really racing, just doing some pulls beside each other) and the cars were neck and neck for 3rd, 4th, gears. I feel like I should of been getting spanked though, maybe something wrong with his car, I dunno.

I'm getting sick of praying while driving this car. The battery kept dying over night so disconnected the amp and subs. This seemed to solve the problem although that sub and amp were connected for months prior.
Then today the lights dimmed off and on for 2min while driving in to work. So I may have an ALT going or electrical issue.
