Civic 1995 Hi I have a 1995 civic and the car won't start. The car engine turns but the car but i have no ignite on the spark plug & my fuel pump isn't turning on . I bought a new relay and fuel pump. So I'm all out of ideas. Please help with any ideas. Thanks.

Most likely Camshaft sensor, located in distributor, is just the right age for that problem.

does it crank at least? possible issues.. Battery, starter, fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, spark plug and spark plug wires, distributor, igniter..

The first thing that needs to happen is to determine which SYSTEM is causing the problem. Is it the FUEL system or is it the IGNITION system? The symptoms you are describing could be caused by either.

The easiest way to check the ignition system is to pull one of the spark plug wires and check for spark when the engine is refusing to start. If there is no spark, you will probably have to replace your distributor (Very common problem with Hondas).

If you can cycle the key ON, OFF, ON, OFF, ON, CRANK - and it starts right up, then you are most likely losing the pressure off of you injector rails during a hot soak (shutting the engine off when it is hot). This can be caused by a bad fuel pressure regulator or a faulty fuel pump check valve. This can be verified by performing fuel pressure tests.

Bad ignition switch

REPLACE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR.AND PLUGS WIRES.IF GETTING NO SPARK TO PLUGS.CHECK SEE IF IGNITION COIL GETTING POWER.IF NOT CHECK IGNITION FUSE.IF POWER GOING TO COIL.FAULT EITHER COIL IS OPEN OR FAULT IN THE IGNITION MODULE IN THE DISTRIBUTOR.

Ignition thing( where spark plug wire is comedies to) injectors last check + pumps Check fuel delivery system.

check the throttle body
spark... check
fuel... check
air...

the car wont start? do you mean the engine wont turn over or it wont fire or run? if the car does not run but it turn over, check the basic..see if you have sparks and fuel, then check all your fuse pertaining to engine and ignition. the car need to have both thing in order for the engine to run. If you getting both sparks and fuel you engine may have jump time especially with older car with high miles, it the sign timing belt getting worn, you don't want it to break. if you don't get fire from spark plug then you may have a bad coil,distubutor,rotor or timing sensor. if you get no fuel, fuse blown, bad fuel pump relay or fuel pump it self. hope that help some ..good luck

you may have a faulty crank position sensor shutting the spark off. this will throw a code into the computer though my suggestion would be to have the ecm read for codes.

Hi,

All gasoline fed engines would need two crucial systems; fuel and ignition. Since you have determined that there is fuel, you may want to check the ignition system - plugs, hi-tension wires, distributor or in some cases igniter or computer box (whichever is present).

Should sparks at the end of the plugs be present, you may want to go back to the fuel possibility and verify that fuel is coming into the carbs or into the high pressure injector pumps. Electrically, there could also be a fuse for the injector pump.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.
