Default 92 Honda accord quit going down the interstate.

Hi,
I was driving my 92 Honda Accord down the interstate and it just quit. Like somebody turned the key off. I replaced the "Main Relay" under the dash. No luck. I can smell raw fuel when I crank it. The rotor looked good. Anybody have any ideas?

Are you getting a spark?

"Like somebody turned the key off."
My first guess is a flaky ignition switch. Can you make it happen again by wiggling the key? (Maybe not in heavy traffic...)

Will crank all day long but no fire. Smells like raw fuel. Ive got no spark tester where Im at now so Im gonna go lay the plug on the head and see what I get.

Sounds like your coil crapped out.

I would guess the igniter, possibly the coil.

Yeah, sounds more like coil or ignitor, rather than ignition switch. Let us know what the spark looks like.

Well I didnt get out to check it tonight. Im a pretty busy guy. Im figuring Ignitor, coil, or "ignition module".
