    Unhappy 1998 Civic help me please

    It's a 1998 Honda Civic
    motor-d16y8
    mods-none
    ecu-p2p stock

    Ok my bother was driving his civic came to a stop and it died on him. He had it towed to my house. Lil bro to the rescue. Well I'm puzzled I got spark and fuel. Timing is dead on. It will crank but won't run. I need some help. I'm going to do a compression test and leak down test tomorrow. Does anyone know the psi it suppose to be? Will edit post tomorrow with results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I put a new distributor on it a month ago with plugs and wires. Also oil reaks of gas!!!! Ok checked ecu its fine. It won't even start and no codes.

    Check the fuel pump/filter/injectors.

    standard 184 psi

    Minimum 135 psi

    Their shouldn't be a difference of 28 psi between any cylinder.

    dude you ask some stupid ass question and also give some stupid ass advice

    does it turn and fire and than die? or just turn but not fire?
    its probably one of the advice they stated above. if it does fire and idle drop than die, probably a vac leak

    i dont know about his dumb questions, but resetting the ECU on a obd2 car is logical. ive seen numerous cars that simply just needed the ECU reset and crunk right up
