What 02civicsi02 has a problem?

Ok guys well most of you guys know me and I have never asked a question on here. For one I have never really had a issue with my car and I usually dont need advise but I am stumped and its pissing me off.

Ok as you know I have the 02 civic si or ep3 with the k20a3. Me and the wife came home the car was running great, we went inside to get some money to go grocery shopping and well get in the car and it will not start. It will turn over but not crank. I have checked the battery and its good. I have took off the intake and check if it was getting air and it is. I checked the coil packs and plugs and they are getting fire. I pulled them out one at a time and had someone crank it and it was getting fire on all 4 cylinders. Now for fuel well I checked in the cylinders and no fuel. So my first thought was fuel pump or filter. Well I checked the fuel pump amd it is coming on so I took the back seat out and took the cover off. I took the top sending hose off and put another hose on there and put it to a bottle and turned the key well its coming out. Then checked the line next. Took the hose off the fuel rail and stuck it in the bottle and turned the key and fuel came out so thats good to. So the next thing I am going to check is the fuel rail and injectors. I just dont see how all the injectors would go bad at the same time. I took my valve cover off to and inspected that. I spun the crank to tdc and checked the timing and that is good. So anybody on here know what my problem is. I am stumped and I have never been this frustrated.

Re: What 02civicsi02 has a problem?

Well the last thing I did was check the fuses and also take off the valve cover and rotate the crank to cylinder 1 TDC and check the timing and it was right on the money. Then I just tried to do this and what I did was take off the intake and put my hand over the throttle body so no air can go in and I had my wife try to crank it. What this does is tell the ecu to push more fuel in and well it started then. I dunno if it was that or not but I kinda think that my valves where stuck cause this happened to one of my buddies before in his ep3. The only thing with him was it would crank but be misfiring bad. So maybe it just needed that extra push on fuel. I dunno I was confused when it started .

Re: What 02civicsi02 has a problem?

Well I actually figured out what was actually wrong with my car cause it happened again today. I was maybe thinking my fuel pressure was bad but it is the wiring at my ecu. The wires are like shorting out or something. got down there and kinda messed with them and the car cranked right up. It might be because of one of the wires that clip with another is not on its bracket its weird .

I feel your pain, I hate wiring problems. Usually when it works sometimes and sometimes doesn't for no reason it's an electrical ussue.
