Redwood,
I'd suggest you read the description of how the 'lamp test' is done
(it's in the owner's manual). While you're watching the lamp test,
listen to the fuel pump run. It might even run for one elephant, two
elephant, three elephants. If you don't hear it run at all, there's a
problem with the main relay OR the fuel pump.
Do a search for MAIN RELAY in this group if you're not sure.
You failed to tell us when, how, or at what mileage (or temperature) the
problem happened with your daughter's car.
Maybe you should have it towed to a good 3rd party Honda service shop ?

To REPLY: If there are a couple of underscores in my return address,
you must remove them to reply directly . . . . . . Thanks.
Regarding stage performances: When everyone else has finished playing,
you should not play any notes you have left over. -

Tony,
I was going to mention the timing belt too, but since they claim the
ignition system is OK, I figured there must be spark (but at the right
TIME??)
Good point, need more details too.

Re: '92 Civic turns over/will not start
The timing belt was replaced two months ago. This no start is at 118,600
miles. The mechanic is saying there is no spark, but the ignition system,
main relay and fuel pump are good. I am waiting until tomorrow to tow it to
a different shop.

Re: '92 Civic turns over/will not start
My suspicions are that the shop doesn't want to admit the distributor they
replaced two weeks ago has a faulty componet. If so they would be out some
$$$. If thats the case, I'll go back to speak with them after the next shop
hopefully makes the repair.
