Default Car Wont Start.

Well, yesterday morning the car started REAL rough.....took lots of turning over before it sparked up.......ran rough for a hot minute, then ran great. Today, I go to start it, and it just keeps cranking over like it did when I burned out the coil 2500 miles ago. Since the coil was just replaced with an OEM, im going to rule that out. Since its raining like whoa today I am not messing with it. Tomorrow im going to see if the fuel pump is working. From what I remember fuel pumps dont work half ***, they either work, or they dont....ive been boosting with the stock pump, so im sure its taken a beating...........Any other ideas on what could be wrong? Obviousy I will make sure ive got air and spark too.........This may be a stupid Question, but if my Headgasket blew again, and blew hardcore would this cause the car to not start? Im hoping I can figure this one out, other wise I gotta pay for a tow, and then a diagnosis.


Could a clogged catalic converter prevent a car from starting?

I was about to ask if it was raining. It def could be water up in the motor for some reason. When my Si gets wet it runs like crap for a long long time. IDK why though. My old civic would bog for like 10 minutes and be fine.
