Default A little Help Please

I was driving around on Friday turned my car off went to start it within two mins and it wouldnt start. After turning it over and over the battery died. I got it jumped and it started up. Run fine the rest of the day. Next went to start it wouldnt start. I have more that a half a tank of gas. My only guess is the fuel pump or the distrubutor. I took the fuel line of went to turn the car over and gas continued to pour out but it wasnt squirting everwhere. the car is a 92 prelude with the f22. if u know whats wrong please let me know.

i dont thinks its the alternator because the battery isnt dying. The car is still turning over just not starting. i know i dont know much about cars but i believe the alternator recharches the battery when the car is running. Any other suggestions would be greatly appericated.

Gee I dunno maybe its your STARTER. That or sparkplugs/wires/distributor. Oh yeah plus you have an F22 so why bother starting it anyway?

that was my mean response. now for my nice guy response.

If you are indeed getting fuel, then its probably the plugs/wires/distributor, but still its hard to tell without hearing it crank. Just try and take it to a recommended mechanic and hopefully you wont get ripped off.

Could be your main relay.You know the fuel pump makes a sound when you turn the key right? Listen for it, do you hear it when this happens?

Like BlackSH said have someone who knows what they are doing check your alternator. If it's not the alternator then you might have a bad cell on your battery also check your connections.
