Ok so i leave my apt, start my car and it starts up perfect... drive 10 minutes to where I'm going and turn it off for the couple minutes, and when i try starting it back up, it doesnt wanna start out of nowhere! It tries starting, just doesnt fully turn over.

Day 1 Update: Just went and tested a few things, its not the battery, because i put my friends battery in and it still didnt start.
We smell gas from trying to start it and also push starting didnt work. I was told its not the starter because its trying to turn over.

Day 2 Update: checked for spark and arent getting any. opened up the dizzy and theres shredded plastic and a random bolt just laying in there. My rotor button was FUCKED. Surely this is the problem, so i go buy a new rotor button and cap, slap it on, still doesnt start!
Now i gotta check for what? coil? ICM? what else?

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Check for sparks at the spark plugs (If no sparks, I would replace the IGNITION COIL). If there is sparks its possible it's the ICM. I had same issue, unfortunately I had to replaced both of mine to get my car started again. Good luck, let us know your outcome.

Assuming it's day 2 of diagnostics... If it starts the second morning without issue, drives to the gas station or wherever ok, and dies again after parked for a few mins, then check the main relay.

It's probably Aids. But I'd say check the coil pack next.

If you can find someone, do it, you may have had a code for just like an o2 sensor months ago..and now with it dead there may also be another code..I would definitely try and get that checked.
