Model: Acura
Make: Integra LS/RS Motor
Year: 1996
engine/transmission option: Auto

My sister has it sitting for an entire winter. I decided to take a look, It seems to crank but won't start. I've already done the following:

Battery tested
New Spark plugs, Distributor, Distributor blade (I think that's what you called it), Ignition coil
Checked for gas pressure, there's gas reaching the sparks
Tried engine starter fluid through throttle body to see if it starts, doesn't start even after you spray it in.

90% of the time when it cranks and doesn't start it's usually the ignition coil but it doesn't seem to be the case for this lady. The spark plugs are getting sparks at all 4 of them as well as gas going through to the sparks plugs. I'm at witts end on what could possibly be wrong with it. One of the O'reilly guy mentioned it could be the Crankshaft Sensor(?) which I'm not too familiar with.

Thoughts and Inputs on how to crack this problem open will be greatly appreciated.


Shoulda gotten a DA

Makes me scratch my head as well, new ignition coil, cords, dizzy cap, spark plugs, etc.. and no blue color, given it is an old car.

Going to try to see if I've got time to tinker with it this weekend, will update when I get the chance to look at it.


Imo just put a BRAND NEW DISTRIBUTOR in, if problem still occurs, return distributor for refund...

You really need to pick up a spark plug tester that can measure the kV of the spark. They are less than $10.

I can't remember the last time i looked at that model integra but if it like the earlier B series and the D series you should have a ground from the front of the chassis to the valve cover and one that goes to the thermostat housing. Make sure both are tight, especially the thermostat one.

Update: Found out the problem of this car. Apparently it was the Ignition Control Module that went bad, after replacing it and letting it crank for about a min it finally started up.

Yay! Problem solved after replacing a bazillion parts. Hope this will help others who have similar problems.

I would if the dizzy looked old, but everything was rather new so I fiddled with one piece at a time ^_^

rather $50 than 500
