91 crx intermittent won`t start
my 91 crx w/ standard tranny has about 160,000 miles, runs like a top, oil change every 3,000, timing belt is good, new plugs, air cleaner is ok, gets 50 mpg, but sometimes it cranks fine but won`t fire. batt. is good. I can try it again right away and it will usually start, but not always right away. It hasn`t left me stranded, but I can`t trust it anymore. I determined the trouble is electrical from a sparkplug remote firing indicator borrowed from a mechanic neighbor. I left it with a local shop for almost a week and they can`t get it to fail to start. so I have it back home. don`t know what to do. does anyone have any experience with this intermittent non-starting business? I suspect the ign. switch with 160,000 miles, but parts are so expensive I hate to start buying them blindfolded. I have also read that if the radio noise supressor goes bad the car won`t start but my haynes book won`t tell me where it is, only 1990 ones. thank you. samk.
