2001 GSR stock
past owner replaced distributor car rotor, spark plugs and wires
I recently changed the evap canister but that was once the car wouldn't turn on had a leak,
so the car cranks but won't start, fuel pump is good it primes and send fuel, plus get wet , checked fuses look good
the day the car was running fine till I pulled in the the drive way and just stumbled and died, tried turning on ,wouldn't? idk what else it can be, please help thanks

Is there any spark? Sounds like your getting fuel. Does it just crank or does it try to turn on?

Check the connections to the crank and cam shaft sensors to make sure they are connected properly. If one of those isn't working, you wont get spark.

If the distributor was replaced, doesn't that mean the ignition coil was as well as its inside of the distributor?

I had the same problem with my 94 GSR. Turned over, but wouldn't start. I was going nuts until I decided to swap my ignition coil out with my other integra and BAM, it worked! Try doing that! I ended up getting one off a 92-95 civic at the junkyard and it worked just fine.

Double check those "new" cables. Unless you have receipts, don't trust anyone when they say they "just changed this or that"

Spark plug wires typically do not cause a no-spark issue. Not to mention they usually don't all fail at once.


ICM/Ignition switch are my guess. Hard to say without testing things though. Like it was mentioned.. that distributor might not be as new as was promised.

Oh, I was merely reflecting on past experiences. In my civic I had a similar problem so I replaced all of the wires and it started right up.

If that new dizzy doesn't help I'd look at the engine for problems, timing, altanator and wiring harness
