I知 at the end of my rope, please help...

So we have a crank no start condition on my 2001 Civic LX Coupe with the D17A1. I know it doesn稚 have spark, has good ground, and 12v is getting to the coil pack. During this time of no start conditions, it was able to start and run for a few minutes, I even drove it home from where it was, no issues were noted during that drive either, but after I shut it off and tried to restart, we were back to no spark. I think it痴 the trigger signal, but I could be wrong. I know the coil packs and plugs are good. Please help me in any way possible, I need it running ASAP.

Re: I知 at the end of my rope, please help...

we have a whole section for engine start issues. Imagine why? It's common to have those issues...
start searching/reading from there.
moved your thread to Engine start problems section.

Just want to rule out the immobilizer. You mentioned no spark, immobilizer disables spark. So the green key symbol comes on with key on then shuts off after a few seconds? If the symbol doesn't come on at all or comes on and flashes that indicates an immobilizer issue.
