hey - need some help here - I ahve a friend I'm trying to help with her 1992 civic. Car wont start. Car will turn over and fuel delvery seems ok, can smell fuel - but no spark - did new cap/rotor/plugs but when I pulled the plug and cranked the motor no spark that I could see - what else should I look at? Any kind of relays? Do the coils fail on these cars?
Thanks in advance! Aaron

I'm having the same problem. Replaced the plug wires and it ran fine for two miles then it just quit. Not getting any fire now. Any further Help?

yes the coils do fail, i have posted this maybe three times already lol...replace the ignition coil...i did the same, i coudl smell all the gas, i tested the plugs i raplaced the cap and rotor. even the battery! then i repalced the coil and it started up...

A 92 civic. That can be anything, Caps, rotor, Coil, Plugs, Wires, Main Fuel Relay under the dash owned me!!...all easy fixes

If the plugs are wet go for the coil.When the ignitor is bad it also kills the fuel.Carl
