Rep Power: 0 97 civic not starting
Problem, car died while driving,
Car cranks but doesn't start.
Acted like the fuel pump, filer issues.
Replaced both, still not starting.
Check the timing belts, Timing belt is whole.
Check fuel pressure on the fuel bar, fuel pressure was fine.
Check the spark plugs. Dry not wet with fuel...
so apparently the fuel injectors are not functioning.
Any Idea...
thanks

main relay maybe
check the 15 am fuse under the hood marked FI and see what that looks like. Any CEL?Check your grounds especially the one under the intake on the thermostat housing, that one likes to cause problems.
get a stethoscope and see if you can hear the injectors opening and closing while someone cranks it.
are you sure the pressure in the fuel rail is built up everytime the key is put in the II position? What i mean is let the car sit for a few hours with the keys out. Check the fuel pressure at the rail. Then put the key in the ignition and click it forward twice. You should hear the pump prime. If you don't there's your problem. If you do, repeat that process a few times and check the pressure at the rail.
If that doesn't work see if you computer is throwing any codes.
