clmsnsccr Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have a '94 Integra LS with about 208k miles. Over the past couple of months, I would try to turn the car on and sometimes nothing would happen but when I pressed on the brake pedal the car started. About a month ago, the car would never turn on unless I turned the key all the way and then pressed on the brake pedal. The other day I was driving home and the engine died (all electronics stayed on). Now whenever I try to start the car, it will crank but will not catch. I put a new battery in (thinking it might be the alternator), but that did nothing. So then I checked the fuel pump and it sounds like it is priming whenever I turn the car on (not to start). So then I checked the fuel filter (for a block) by disconnecting the line heading into the engine and it is wet so it looks like fuel is getting through the fuel filter. I'm not sure what to check next. If the spark plugs are not sparking, do I need to replace the entire distributor? Could it be the ignitor? I really appreciate any suggestions.

clmsnsccr Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Sounds like it might just be the ignition coil??? any thoughts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gboostedteg Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Sounds like it might just be the ignition coil??? any thoughts? Thanks Yea it really sounds like a coil but the whole brake pedal thing is kinda odd never heard that before and i dont want to tell u to get a coil and that not be it but i work at an autoparts store and there pretty cheap for a teg plus easy to replace id try that first.

lceah Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 reading it, when you said the fuel pump and filter are fine, I thought of spark plugs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschunk Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 if you have spark It sounds like it could be the main relay thats a commen problem. I have seen it on and older preludes, accords, integras.(mostly older ones though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_agu28 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 My del sol just died on me in the wal mart parking lot, Do hours of searching and this is what we came to as well. I gotta get a new one tomorrow which sucks, The coil in the dist, went bad. There is no spark what so ever, Even switched over my friends working cap and rotor and nothing. There is 12v flowing but when we crank it, it drops to -1 on the multimeter. Any thoughts on what you guys might think it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
