my car wont start...help please!!!!

[tomknox]

my 93 civic lx all of a sudden died on me in the middle of the road yesterday and now it wont start at all. i just put a full tank of gas in it then started down the road and it stalled. i just recently put new spark plugs in and it recommended that i gapped them but i couldnt so i just put them in. i know that my o2 sensor is bad also, i dont know if that would effect it. the car set for 2 years but ive been driving it for 4 years now, i thought there might be trash or water in it cuz it has been running bad lately. i took the line to my fuel filter and off and turned the key a couple times to see if the gas was getting there and the fuel was coming out so i know that its not the fuel pump. i put a new fuel filter on, now it will crank, but it just studders and tries to cut off unless i push the pedal down, as soon as i release the pedal it cuts back off. would i have a bad fuel injector or what? thanks!! ty

There are several causes of no start/run conditions.
Seeing as how your motor will turn over the starter motor and ignition switch can be ruled out with much certainty.
One problem with your model is the Main Relay located on the left side of the dashboard above the fuse box. A quick test is to smack the left side of the dashboard (not enough to break anything, but a good smack) and try to start, if it fires up and runs ok then you need a new relay.
Another common problem is the distributor (which from you description sounds more likely). There is a device inside of it called the ignitor that loves to fail while your driving. If you think you got some skill you can order one from Honda and swap it out yourself, it cures about 80% of distributor problems. On the other hand if you take off your distributor cap and notice alot of red rust inside then get a whole new assembly. Another common distributor problem is that the screw for the rotor button(I highly recommend you check this) behind the cap loves to fall out and then the rotor spins indipendant of the motor, if it spins freely then fix the screw. Hope this helps.

need to crank and see if you are getting spark pull one of your plug wires and ground it and see if you got a good spark. lets us know what you find.
