94 civic died

How old (miles and years) are the igniter and ignition coil? The probability is high it is one or the other. This problem comes up a lot here.

If it is not restarting at all, I'm betting it's the igniter.

See

for assistance in checking these. Also, a free online manual for your Civic may be had at . This manual also gives checks you can do on the igniter and coil.

Sounds alot like the Igniter...atleast it solved my problems when I had the same symptoms as yous. Good luck

-------------------------

Quickest thing to check is the Timing belt first. Open the oil filler, look at the cam lobes with a flashlight, spin the motor for a second. You won't wreck anything else if you've already been trying to spin it. (Lobes should move)

While you are at it,you should check out Tegger's MAIN RELAY repair info;when hot weather is coming,this can cause a brief start,then die(due to loss of fuel pressure),and just crank without starting,until the relay cools enough for the cracks to make connection,and then the car will start and run normally.

The relay costs $50 or more,but can be opened and resoldered.It's under the dash on the driver's side,usually on the side of the footwell. It's VERY common to Honda/Acura products.
