Started the truck. Started to drive away and it died. Would not re-start. It turns over but won't start. Seems to be not getting any spark. I am getting fuel. I replaced the pick up coil under the distributor cap. Had the crankshaft sensor checked and it checked good. Was told the only other thing it could be is the computer. Do you have any other suggestions. Thank you! Mark

Is engine getting fuel ? Do you have spark at spark plugs ? How long ago did you change the fuel filter ? Did you just fill or add gas ? It might have been bad gasoline ( WATER IN SYSTEM )

1991 Honda Civic Problems car started ok. at stop sign died will not start getting gas turns over fine.seems like no spark
whaddya mean seems like no spark. There's no such thing as "seems like no spark. There either is or isn't and it's easy to tell. remove spark plug lay against good ground and crank. you'll see it for crissse sake.

Not getting gas is a fuel delivery problem, fuse, pump, or relay.

On sunday pray for it. all the other days cuss it out.
