"Not starting" = engine not turning over? Or it's turning over, but not running?

Thanks!

How did you check this "Fuel to the fuel pressure damper"
Did you check the actual pressure?

How fast is the starter spinning the engine? Just a few turns and then some rapid clicks?

Starter is spinning the engine good, I've got it down to either bad injectors or crank position sensor

I had this issue with my civic last year and I had to play Sherlock Holmes. 3 things make an engine run.
- fuel+air+spark

For me it was weak spark from a failing distributor rotor (the S has coil on plug and no distributor obviously). listen for the fuel pump priming to help rule out fuel- not fool proof way to tell.
I had to pull the spark plug wires and connected a tester to try and visibly see the spark jumping the gap in each individual cylinder.

good luck
darcy
