97 Honda civic ex turns over but won't crank
Ok here's my problem. I was driving through a parking lot and my car shut off as I slowed down. I turned the key and it just turns over but won't crank. The fuel pump comes on and I checked to see if fuel was coming through the fuel filter to the injectors and the flow is very strong. I then checked my wires there isn't any fire coming from them and there's no spark from the plugs. HELP ME PLEASE.
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

That's "cranks, but won't start"
No spark: Make sure timing belt did not let go (distributor can't make spark if the cam isn't turning)
Test ignition coil, test igniter. Most crap out the ignition coil before the igniter.
