Default 95 civic died..

its a 95 civic dx 2 dr with no options outside power brakes and stereo lol, no ac no powersteering etc..

so 2 days ago i was driving and i was in fourth gear at about 45 and the motor started to bog down rapidly, i down shifted to 3rd and then to second but by the time i was in 2nd it had died, it'll turn over but it wont start, the fuel pump sounds like its pressurizing the system when its turned on, any ideas??

thanks alot

Jordan

so after checking some things i believe its electircal because the engine will turn for days but not even sputter, i think it may not be getting a spark, any thoughts?

Click the Spark link in my signature to learn how to check for spark and for a broken timing belt.

thanks man, turned out to be the distributer, and shortly there after i had to get the timing belt done due to the timing be to far off for it to smog, all in all it was a mere $260 to get it back on the road

Thanks again
