RE: one pissed off ej8
well i checked one plug so far and it appeared to spark fine and assumed the others did too, but i'll know for sure today. About it being expensive, i'ld hope it not be but as of right now i dont care about price i just wish i knew what the hell it was. Driving my gfs 07 si till mine is back up which is nice and all but gas just went to 3.85 for premium and it sure likes to drink it. I'm trying every idea that comes my way, seeing how i'm not much of a mechanic by any means this could get nasty, if i cant figure it out i think i'm gona do a late night push to the honda dealership so i dont have to get it towed, thanx for the help so far guys

RE: one pissed off ej8
I assume there is no CEL since you didn't say there was.
Can recall any small problems before this happened? Any other maintenance or mods done prior to this?

RE: one pissed off ej8
Check the small things first if you haven't already. Plug wire on good on both the dizzy and plug side. Can you swap in a known good battery?

RE: one pissed off ej8
crazy stuff guys, called the tow truck, when he got there i went to move the car down the drive way so i thought screw it i'll try to start it...AND IT STARTED!!!! it sound BAD when it started, backed it down the driveway and then sounded fine, asked the tow driver to fallow me to the honda place and it drove fine once outa the neighborhood, got to honda and turned it off and started it 2 more times and it was FINE. Still left it at honda to get them to take a good look at it, this car is crazy
