Ok, here's a good one. My '91 CRX Si won't start. I went away for two and a half weeks and when I came back it wouldn't start. Perhaps it got jealous because I was at General Motors World Headquarters in Detroit?

So far I have checked spark by hooking up a timing light to one of the plug wires. It flashes when I crank so I know I have spark. I can hear the fuel pump kick on when I turn the key and I can smell fuel at the tailpipes. Just to be sure I took out the 12mm drain screw on the fuel line terminal atop the fuel filter and turned the key, resulting in a fountain of gasoline. So I have fuel.

If I crank it for a while it will catch and fire occasionally and it even ran once rather funkily for a short time, missing and sputtering until it died after like 10 seconds.

The main relay is newish. I replaced it with a new OEM part in the summer of '06. That cured the previous intermittant hot no-start problem I had. Since then the car has run flawlessly, until this helping of gaysauce.

I pulled up the carpet to have a look at the computer. When I turn the key on the light flashes red once and thats it. Rapping on it with my knuckles didn't appear to help.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Fixed. Like weeks ago.

What was the problem? Clogged injectors?

fouled plugs i would say, raw gas at tail means gas was not burned at all so u got spark at the wires but not at hte plugs.
