Rep Power: 0

Hello,

Newb here. My daughters 96 Civic EX died on her the other day while driving on the freeway. Would crank and refine but ran poorly. I checked the timing belt and it looks good, marks still lined up. I checked for spark and had none. I replaced the distributor and after clearing out a flooded engine and replacing the plugs, I still have an issue. The engine will fire. While sitting behind the wheel, I noticed that the tach needle suddenly dropped to zero. Moments later, the engine began to. Run poorly, stumbling and will not accelerate if I try to rev the engine. After a few seconds, it will die. If I restart it, it will refire, but it seems like it runs worse, the warmer the engine gets. I have checked the fuel pressure. It is 34-36 psi when running and stays the same after it begins to stumble. I have changed the main relay and tried several ICU's before I changed the entire distributor. I have cleaned grounds and I have checked voltage at the blk/yel wire at the dist. 13.8V when running (good or bad).

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking ECU or crank/ cam sensor? I wiggles the key while it was acting up, trying to eliminate the ignition switch. No change.
