Car Forum / Honda Cars / November 200587 Civic. No start
I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't have newsgroup access, so I'll give all the information I can. The car - 1987 Civic, d15a2 (1500cc, carb) engine, 4 speed. The problem - The car died at an intersection and will not restart. It gets fuel and spark, but will not fire. The ignition coils tests fine. If more info is needed, I can get it and post it to this thread. Any ideas on where to go from here? Thanks. Either timing is way off, broken timing belt, or no compression due to bad head gasket. > I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't have newsgroup access, so I'll > give all the information I can.

If the cam's not turning, it will probably be cheaper to get a new car than fix the engine after a broken timing belt. I am having a similar no start with my 87 civic 1.3 liter 5 speed and it turned out to be a bad distributor and now I can't get the timing right-can anyone help with which plug would be the number 1 position, the first one on the right or the first one on the left, it was such a pain we lost track and now can't get it right-HELP!!! > I am having a similar no start with my 87 civic 1.3 liter 5 speed and it > turned out to be a bad distributor and now I can't get the timing > right-can anyone help with which plug would be the number 1 position, the > first one on the right or the first one on the left, it was such a pain we > lost track and now can't get it right-HELP!!! ------------------------ Plug #1` is closest to the drive belts.
