It's a 2000 civic lx. I have new plugs, wires, cap and rotor, New main relay and ICM. I have fuel and spark but it still won't start. My wife was driving and it died. It eventually started but died and hasn't started since. I am out of ideas. I don't have a compression tester and can't even afford to rent or buy one.

Sorry to hear, try checking all your grounds and also your power wires (to starter, to fuse box, to alternator. Try these and then let us know. No smoke or anything coming from the ECU?

Does it sputter at all like it wants to start? Or just crank?

I did everything I could. I'm waiting on a tow truck to take it to the dealership. This sucks its been years since I haven't been able to fix one of my car. At $100 a hour plus parts I hope they find the problem quick. I changed dizzy, ICM, main relay, fuel pump and pressure reg, plugs, wires, cap and rotor checked all the ground all the power wires and fuses and the timing and did a compression and leak down I even swapped computers with a working one. I can't figure it out.

Is your new dizzy installed correctly? Not 180 degrees out?

I'd look at your wires and their connections again. Something could be crossed or not seated properly. I had something similar happen in the past with a vehicle and check those and when it turned out to be fine I looked back at the dist. and i didn't have it completely seated despite looking as such. I'd also look to make sure its oriented properly and there are no gaps with it being seated.
It belongs in a museum!

I've already thrown in the towel. It's at my local Honda dealer. I've spent enough time and money trying to figure it out. I'd rather pay someone at this point. Working on my own car is making me get backed up with customers.
