I have a 1993 Honda civic Dx d15b7 engine. This is my first car and i love it .. i spent so much money in this car.. i dont wanna just give up on it ... There was an afternoon when i came after school i turned off the car and went to use the bathrom came baack nd the car didnt wanna start again. It cranked but it didnt start. It sounds like it wants to start but it dont. I changed the following:
Timing Belt / I put it in timing
New Water Pump
New Distributor
New Oxygen Sensor
New Spark plug wires
New Spark Plugs
New alternator belt
New battery
New MAP sensor
NEw Fuel Filter
New Oil filter/ Changed Oil
After all of this the car proceeds to do the same thing .... Please if yu have any idea of what it can be please help me .

 

Can you hear the fuel pump prime?

 

^+1 when you turn the key to the IGN2 position, you should hear a low hum from under the back seat.

 

Sounds like the main relay. Turn key on but not all the way to try to start. Like the other guy said, you should hear the fuel pump prime then stop after 2 seconds (it is not real loud, listen carefully at the fuel tank area under the back seat). Also the yellow "check engine" light should come on for those 2 seconds then go out. If it stays on constant that is usually because of the main relay.

There are numerous write-ups about how to resolder a main relay. Basically they were not soldered well at the factory.

 

If you did the timing, I would recheck this first, even though your car started before, the belts have a tendency to move.

 

Thank you... Im gonna go downstairs and check ... Also i checked on the timing and its fine .. but i will checK on the fuel pump ...

 

i went downstairs and i heard the fuel pump prime i had it on ignition 2 and the check light came on for 2 seconds just like yu said and it turned off.... It did dat noise then it stopped. At the same time the check engine light went off along with the noise

 

pull a spark plug and check if your getting spark.

also pull your check engine light codes

i got the same problem with the car i just bought. the previous owner let it sit for a few months then when he went to start it it wouldnt start. not even with starting fluid. could the main relay cause this?? previous owner said his buddy started it and let it idle then it slowly died and wouldnt restart. he said theres no check engine light on or error codes?

 

I checked the sparkplugs and im getting good sparks in all spark plug wires.. this car has me puzzled.
