Ok I figure one of you guys is gonna be able to help me. My brother has a 99' Honda Civic DX with a 1.6L SOHC non V-TEC engine. The other day he called me and said the car wouldnt start. He replaced the plugs before i got there to look at it. He had a very weak spark. So I left and suggested new plug wires, cap and rotor. The cap and rotor looked really worn out. I also told him if that didnt work try the coil. The next day he said he put a new distrubutor on it (new distritnutor comes with coil). He is still have the no start issue and we're not sure why. The car has 239,000 miles on it. I looked inside the oil cap to verify if the timing belt was not broken (it is not broken). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for looking

Welcome to the forum,The possibilities are many but seeing as you already replace the most common things ,I wonder if it could be a fuel problem.I would try pressing the gas pedal to the floor ,this could be a flooded injector and by holding the pedal to the floor it will clear it out,or it may be a Main relay.Make sur it is getting fuel.

 

Thanks for the advice. I think the fuel pressure is good because when we pulled a plug it was wet with fuel. That leads me to believe the pressure is good and that the main relay is also good because we're getting fuel. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks
