Have a boosted b16 in a 92 civic si...

been driving fine...then last wednesday it started to not wanna start up.

I would crank on it a few times and it would normally start.

but today it just won't start. I replaced the main relay...still won't start

RECAP: car turns over...and was driving fine yesterday...today the car won't start and i tnever made any weird noices or anythng....just parked it...let it cool down and turned it off....now it won't start...replaced main relay and that's not it.

UPDATE:

checked spark and it seems I have none...took out a plug and turned the motor over and it didn't arc...so I'm guessing no spark...so this means bad dizzy???

Daniel, I just remembered that matt had a similar problem and it was the dizzy. After you take the cap off, the screw that holds the rotor may have come off and phucked shyt up.

Just a suggestion

i think i had the same problem like a month back..look in your fuse box next to the battery. there is a OPTION fuse, shoould be a 30 amp fuse.. check it out. make sure the screw is screwed down tight.

id check the rotor button first. if thats not it, its more than likely your igniter or coil.

I would start by checking out the dizzy, etc...

ok so now it decided it wanted to start up yesterday...

I've tracked it down to this:

this is all pre-startup BTW


Well the CEL comes on and SOMETIMES goes off...when this happens the car starts no problem...

The other 90% of the time the CEL comes on and stays on...when this happens the car will not start
