hi,
my civic stalled while driving,
and would not start,
checked the spark and saw small sparks and intermittent ones.
saw my reflection in the throttle body so i have emptied the gas that was flooding that. I am wondering if the flood got down the engine !
the starter seems like its spinning slower now even with jumper cables with another car.
i have checked the mechanical timing and the crankshaft and camshaft are perfect,
with the cam on up and crankshaft aligned with white tab, the rotor is pointing downards a tab to the right when it should be more to the left to point to cylinder 1. cant really figure that one out.
I have checked all the distributors ohms and volts and all of it is good, havent checked the crank angle sensor and have a spare distributor to replace it.
now im wondering if something could have blown like the alternator, or slow the engine down and prevented it from starting.


Sound wise, there was a clicking sound close to the timing belt before that stall happened.

I also turned the key while the car was still moving and stalled,
can this cause any damage to a part?


any help would be great thx.

If you've tested the dizzy and you have spark at the plugs then that rules out that rules out the electrical system as the cause, it's also impossible that the starter would cause a stall while driving.

It could be the fuel system, but you said there was lots of gas in the throttle body so you should have good fuel.

If the CPS sensor is toast, then even with spark and fuel the engine might not start. The crank position sensor is part of what tells the ecu when to deliver spark and fuel to the cylinders, so if that were off then you might not have complete or any detonation resulting in the flooded throttle body and no start.
