Engine Mechanical problem
1989 Honda Civic 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
. Have for past year a problem starting but only after
stopping and trying to start within a short time. I would just wait 3-5 minutes and it would start and run fine.
This happened ounce and a while so i just lived with it. This time while driving it cut out [ two short bucks] at 25 miles per. ran fine for 3 more miles then died at a idle. I have no spark at spark plugs but I do have spark from coil to ground . Have replaced rotor and dist cap.Rotor is turning ,have checked timing mark on crank to #1plug wire ok. Any Ideas?
