2000 Civix EX Stalled Won't Start
I have a 2000 Civic EX with just over 81K miles.
About a mile into the journey home it stalled, eventually died and will not start. I have done some research on the forum but need a little more guidance.
The check engine light is not on, it cranks but will not start. I checked some fuses on the inside and out but none were blown.
I have had some issues with it starting when I have been low on fuel but a few extra turns and it usually fires up.
I had to park it so I will go back in the morning and listen for the fuel pump to prime and check the main relay.
Otherwise I am not sure I can check much else on the side of the road.
Any suggestions or advice is much appreicated.
Thank you,

3 things
Spark, fuel, compression.
Pulll a plug and ground it to check for spark.
Find a fuel line and remove or tap into it and check for fuel pressure while turning car over
Run a compression test
Get those results then we can help you narrow it down.

Thank you for all the responses. I had to have it towed because it was in a bad place to try to work on it.
It was the ignitor and coil and I got them replaced for just over $400. Good call droopy128!!Sux to have to pay someone but it was a bad situation for me to try to troubleshoot.
Thanks again!
