My daughters '92 Civic 1.5L (automatic trans.) turns over, but will not start. It was towed to a shop where they say everything on the ignition checks-out (Coil, ICM (igniter), Main Relay, etc...). They believe the problem is the computer, however, they will not order one to try it out. I have to tow it to someone else (i.e the dealer) to have further diagnosis done. Is there anything they or I could be over looking.
Thanks

well is it getting any gas? if it is getting gas but not starting you should be able to smell it

Yes, it's getting fuel, no spark.

well I don't have any brilliant advice for you on what could be wrong with it but I can tell you this... if it does end up needing a computer, do NOT buy a new one from Honda. you can get one out of a matching junkyard car and save a ton of money!

more than welcome... I LOVE to go junk yard shopping. it is a shame to see tons and tons of parts just go to waste out there when you can get them so much cheaper than new and most of them are totally fine!
