96 civic broke down while driving. please help
1996 Honda Civic LX 198,000miles
Was driving the car for about 15minutes. Went to step on gas, with no effect. Just coasted to the side of the road. Car continued to run. When car was shut off... would not restart but turns over.
Some other facts:
*When turn key to ON position can hear fuel pump.
*Haven't tried to jump but turning over like normal.
*Car is full of gas
*Probably not relevant...but exhaust needs repaired...it is seperated somewhere forward of the muffler.
* Not sure when the fuel filter was changed last.
Is this most likely a fuel injector issue?
Would the car turn over if the alternator was out?
Please help. Thanks.
Somebody told me it might be the ECU or PCM...the computer that controls the engine. Anyone agree?

It could but unless you were messing with it, the answer is no. And the car should turn over without an alternator.
Is it a standard? Put it on a hill and try to jump it on the clutch.
