91 Dx Civic, died out with loss of power on freeway. No start
91 Dx Civic, died out with loss of power on freeway. No start
Looking for help with a diagnosis. Car turns over, pressure sounds weak with sort of sputter when turning over. No start, but i do have a spark. Cracked a fuel line and it seems to have pressure. Any ideas? I had a shitty battery in the car and starting seemed to be a bit rough until this problem occured

-test the battery first/replace make sure the battery terminals/grounds are tight, and clean.
(if you replace the battery and it starts, make sure to test the alternator)
-check all fuses/relays
AIR
-obviously this shouldn't be an issue but check t see if rats have filled the intake tubes, sometimes they stash stuff in there; even if you park in a garage.
FUEL
- for fuel pressure disconnect the line, put it in a bottle and turn the key to 'II", it should gush out a lot (like fill a quarter beer bottle in 2 to 3 seconds).
-with a test light check the injectors for ignition pulse.
SPARK
-make sure your spark is bright blue/white not dull yellow brown.
-check for spark on at lease two coils.
