the compression is the air. As the piston moves up, it compress the air, which is kinda hard to block and gas for combustion.

I checked the compression, its about 160 on all cylenders. So it has spark, compression, fuel pump works and main relay is fine. The timing belt looks good, doesnt seem to have jumped any teeth. I dont know what else to check.

anything?

Yes, I have gas. I filled it up the night before it broke down. I had half tank when it died.

Now i am not just asking questions to make anybody feel stupid, but is that what the gauge says or is that what the tank sounds like?

Did you do a wet compression test or a Dry compression test ?
Turbo Civic is right. it takes Fuel, Spark, and Compression for a engine to run.

The night before it broke down did it idel high, anywhere between 1200-2000rpm ? if so you could of had a vacume leak, or blew off a vacume line.

You should try and find someone with a Scanner. (thing that hooks to your ECU and gives you full readouts on all elecrical / mechanical system in the car.)
That will point out exactly where the problem is

I did a dry compression test.

My car was running perfectly before it broke down. I drove it 2 hours before and it was fine, nothing abnormal. The second time, it started fine, and even climbed out of the snow. I drove up the road, stoped at a stop sign, then went. 1st gear was fine then 2nd; before I shifted 3rd the motor died, and would not start again.

Since it is a DX I have no tach so I'm not sure of any changes in RPMs, but it sounded and ran fine, up unitl it broke down.

-Sorry for the long post-

My CRX has been having starting issues lately (it's being repaired right now), and the mechanic said it had a bad oxygen sensor. The car would start strong and catch and immediately die after the starter was disengaged. Might be work checking out.

My car does'nt start at all. It turns over but never starts. Sometimes when I am trying to start it, it makes a "popping" sound coming from under the hood.

-What do you guys think?-
