HAVE YOU TRIED PUTTING GAS in it

[seksicarlovinchick]

Umm...gas, alternator, battery...more than likely its the alternator. I forget how you check. but thats a start I guess.

[NoWAyItZTOMmY]

yea there is gas in it and its a full battery

[jdmcrxfreek]

ok your distributtor is prob. bad or you dont have a good grond on the body check the cap button plug wires and plugs make sure the distrib. is pluged in let me know how it goes

[MarkyMark]

If it's a manual transmission and you can get it rolling and kick the clutch. If it starts then, you can narrow it down to possibly the starter. (you said it has a full battery, so it's not an alternator problem) If it doesn't start by kicking the clutch, it may be a fuel delivery problem?

[jdmcrxfreek]

he said the car cranks but doesnt spark so kicking the clutch wont help

[NoWAyItZTOMmY]

iight ill check it out

[BluesClues]

Are the spark plugs any good?

Sorry missed that part...

I had the distributor go bad in a 92 EG hatch I had, maybe that's the problem. When I looked into it, I found that it's somewhat common in older Hondas.

could it be da ecu? its obd0 to obd1 conversion

[2.0civic]

are you getting gas to it? could be the main fuel relay....That is a common EF problem
