Default My 1995 Prelude Died At Stoplight

My 95 prelude died at a stoplight this morning. Still had juice....all the lights in the car were on, etc. The starter cranks but will not ignite. Any ideas??? Is it the starter or something else?

Check your ignition system like your distributor cap and rotor. Have you got a recent tune up? Before the problem was your car idling fine?

that happened to me on an accord i use to have...believe it or not, it was the coil. I was getting spark but just not strong enough. everything sounded right...thought i blew a fuel line or something, but it was the coil.

With the spark plug still in the wire have someone turn your ignition. If the spark is red, need a new coil, if still BRIGHT blue...possible alternator.

werd. hondas are known to have problems like that with coil and igniters. check to make sure there is fuel getting into the cylinders.
