If you're not getting any spark, it may be the coil or the igniter, both of which are located inside the distributor.
If no fuel, you may have a problem with your main relay.
Check out tegger.com for more information on these components as well as other possibilities.

Your car engine needs 3 things to fire: 1)Fuel, 2)Oxygen, 3)Spark

Oxygen: Check to make sure you have a clean air filter
Spark: Check to make sure you are getting spark, you can pull off a spark plug wire and lay it next to the engine BLOCK while someone else cranks the engine and you can quickly see a spark
Fuel: There is not a quick and easy way to test this, so if the other two tests check out okay, then first try to replace your fuel filter and make sure your vacuum hoses are all connected.

My 1991 honda civic runs fine yesturday and today it wont start please help

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

1991 honda civic si starting problem

have you check the ground wire from your negative wire to battery post? check to see the battery is strong. if it doesn't turn over the engine or crank the engine mean no good ground to the cables. if the car ran fine I dont understand why the car wont crank or turn the motor over it just quit. if the battery check out strong 12 V, starter serenoid may be faulty on your starter or it may be hot and will not turn starter over.

1991 honda civic starter removal

Always start by disconnecting the battery when working with electrical parts on a vehicle. Once that is done then unplug the starter and unbolt the nut under the rubber boot which should be either 8mm or 10mm bolt, i can't remember which. Then next there will be two long 12mm or 14mm bolts holding the starter to the trans...remove them and the starter should lift right out. For installation just do the same but reverse and don't forget the metal gasket and i recommend putting di-electric grease on the electrical connections to keep those in good working order. Good luck

91 honda civic

wont crank is sign of bad starter or bad battery or connections from positive fat cable to starter. or bad solenoid. or even relay that signals solenoid to engage. also if car shuts off and wont start but cracnks. it could be the pickup coils in distributor, not giving it signal to fire spark or alarm system bypassed wrong
