RE: need help...car wont start,think its a fuel issue i think....
so it couldnt maybe be that the fuel rail is getting clogged in the middle or something???...i did replace the head gasket about 4 months ago but i never really had this trouble....from alot of the things i read on honda tech i think maybe my timing slipped....ill have to check that tomm cause if i cant get it working by tomm im gonna have to have it towed and i REALLY dont want that.

Look at how it goes together. Fuel enters one end of the rail and comes out the other. If it were clogged in the middle none would come out. There's no way injectors 1 and 4 could get fuel but not 2 and 3.
Check the timing, check the compression. If the head gasket has blown out between cylinders 2 and 3, both of those cylinders will be inoperable. That will be readily detectable with a compression test.

yeah i just have no idea what to check next....im gonna check the timing tomm but i dont have enough money to get the kit to test the compression since i spent so much today.It seems like the closest time i get it to start is when it sits there over night....dont know why but it does.

Probably a spark issue. Have you actually checked the distributor cap/rotor, ignition coil, etc.? Your spark plugs may be fine put if they aren't getting spark, well then, you know...

check the dizzy cap and it looked finebut i didnt check the rotor,didnt check the coil but i didnt have enough time and im not sure i know how to check that.

Take a spare plug, pull the wires off the plugs (one at a time, check all 4) and connect them to the spare plug then hold that plug against the engine and see if it sparks when you crank it. I thought you already did that though.
Edit to add: Also bend the electrode on your test plug so the gap is really wide. The ignition system should be able to make blue sparks that can jump 1/2 inch or more.

Have you actually checked to see if you're getting spark? I looked through your old threads and a while back you had four misfire codes... did you ever fix what was causing the problem?

i dont know if i ever did cause i dont think anyone ever told me what was really causing that....i know im getting spark though,i still dont know if my timing got off or not.
