    I have a 1997 Honda CRV and the other day I was driving and it started
    cutting out on me and than it just stalled and would not start again.
    My brother looked at it and said it was not getting any fire to the
    plugs. Can anyone help me fix this problem.l

  2. Check out http://tegger.com/hondafaq/faq.html#startrun for the whole
    rundown. It sounds like the coil or ignitor. I'm leaning toward the ignitor,
    but the tests TeGGeR has are better than my hunches!

    Just to be sure... has the timing belt been changed out, and how many miles
    does the car have?

    Does the tachometer needle jiggle a tiny bit when you crank, or is it dead
    still?

    If it jiggles a bit, the coil is dead.

    If it's dead still, the igniter is dead.
