Help - 92 Integra LS starting problems............
I have a 92 LS teg that all the sudden died today. I was able to start it up but it would shake like crazy, sputter, and eventually die. Even if I had the pedal to the floor it would onlly rev to about 1200 rmps before it would die. I assume it is the fuel pump or a relaly because it was driving fine earlier. I recently had the belt changed. Sometimes at higher rpms I would notice the rpms jump around a bit because of the bearings in the distributor are a bit worked. Where should I start? Has anyone had this same problem?

1) Get a manual
2) Get any DTC (error codes) not all problems flash error codes
3) Test fuel pessure to confirm your theory.(Old Fuel Filter?)
4) A crank angle sensor or a faulty Map sensor can cause this kind of problem. Check if the sensors are within range(sometimes a sensor could be giving faulty information to the ecu which, inturn, results in a air fuel ratio(AFR) problem.
5) Check for a resticted exhaust
Ask me if you don't understand something.

I checked the fuel and its flowing fine. I unbolted the cat and it still didn't start. I checked the ecu and there were no codes. How do I go about testing these sensors and where do I find the crank angle sensor?

When you replaced the dist. cap and rotor did you use OEM? The reason I ask is that when I replaced both w/aftermarket it took about 6 months for those cheap, out of spec pieces to wipe out my distributor. I asked a guru who told me NEVER put aftermarket cap or rotor on these cars. When my distributor was dying the car behaved similarly to what you are describing.
