:ghey: CRX died today NO SPARK!!!!
The engine cut out when I was taking off from a stoplight. I thought I stalled it like a :dumbass: but then it wouldn't restart. The car has occasionally had problems restarting after a short trip and then cooling down for a few minutes, which sounds like symptoms of a main relay going bad according to the link in the CRX FAQ so that is what I thought it was. Previously when this had happened if I let the car sit for a minute or two it would restart but I would have to rev it immediately or it would die again. One time I had to let it sit for 10 or 20 min. Now it is dead and has been dead for hours. When I turn the key I hear the relay kicking on and a buzzing I assume is the fuel pump which cuts out after maybe like five seconds (just like every other electric fuel pump I have dealt with). This leads me to believe that the main relay is not at fault. I pulled a wire and checked for spark. NADA! At this point I'm guessing the igniter is faulty. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm waiting for a ride to the parts store. $64.99 from the place down the street, Strauss Auto. It's 3 miles, I was thinking about walking it. I wish I had a frigging bicycle.

Damn, that sucks. I thought it might be an occational problem I have. Sometimes after being parked for a while, or first thing in the morning, car won't start. If I push it forward a few inches and/or give it a little time it turns over. I have reason to believe it has to do with the switch requiring you to push down the clutch pedal to start the car. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
