Kastigir Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Cars need 3 things to run...compression, spark, and fuel. I'm sure compression isn't the issue, so verify that you're getting fuel and spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeryon Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 To elaborate on what these guys hinted at: Distributors are common failure points in early 90's Honda's. Unless your car is magical and all four spark plugs or all four plug wires went bad simultaneously then the problem to look for next is a bad distributor. Problem could be fuel pump, clogged filter or a broken fuel line. Check for that is you can disconnect your fuel line where it exits the regulator on the firewall and turn the key to see if you are pumping fuel properly. Make sure you have a bucket, a lot of fuel will shoot out when there is no resistance. This is a less common issue in general but something quick and easy to check for.
