I was driving up my driveway when it just decided to stop working as if I turned the ignition off.

The starter still works and I checked to see if the timing belt broke, which it didn't.

If any of you have ideas about htis, let me know!

Check the distributer. I had to replace one on mine when I had it. Very common.

More than likely your coil or igniter as acura calls it. Had to do one on mine. Just
buy a new/reman dist. Save you a headache. :thumbsup

I just checked the prices :eek:

Do you think that an overdue tune-up (cap, wires, plugs) would cause a bigger problem?

The pic is the "button" or rotor inside the cap.

I did some testing and found the primary resistance of the coil to be 1.3 ohms when the manual specifies 0.6 to 0.8 ohms. I think this is the issue

Goin' to napa to see what they say...

Um...now I am smelling gas when it idles. I don't know if it has one of those fuel systems which can adjust itself via the o2 sensor. But I also have an exhaust leak (understatement), but it is near the muffler.
