91 dx sedan wont start
ok, gotta 91 civic dx that wont start. its got good spark, new cap and rotor. its got fuel, pressure tests at 40psi, and the injectors are spraying. checked the timing belt, and everything lines up properly. gave it a shot of ether in the intake and it wont even try to start on that. It gets really close to starting, it turns over if you pump the gas. it just wont take hold and start. it gets really close.
It died 2 sundays ago, it started fine and ran for a few seconds, then just shut off, like you turned the key off. the ECU doesn't flash a code. it flashes real quick when the key gets turned to "on" but my working 91 CRX SI does the same. i have a replacement ecu coming but i really doubt thats it. this is my girlfriends car to get to and form school, some come winter (in wisconsin) shes gonna be pretty cold if it wont run and we can't afford to replace it.
im out of ideas, someone here has to be able to think of something.
