	I have had the del sol in storage for the winter, I have kept it running and moving a few times. The battery gave out the other day so I have had to jump it of my other battery. I went to move it into the garage and now it wont start!!! The engine turns over fine, I can also smell petrol from the exhaust. I have removed a HT lead and don't seem to have a spark. I checked all the fuses tooo. and no one would have been near it since it last ran (about 2 weeks ago) - it normally starts immeadiately. Its the B16A2 UK spec DOHC Vtec engine with a manual gearbox. Can anyone shed some light on possible checks? have some JDM honda pics for your trouble..................

	if its a del sol id put my money on it having run out of hair spray. try plugging your hair straighteners into it and see if that helps? otherwise it might be the distributor. tried looking for error codes? go on the crx-uk forum you should get some definate techy help on there (just don't mention its a del slow as youll get referred to the girls club forum)

	Thats helpful, retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=45829 Dave I had a quick paroose on the web and came across this, guy seems to be having the same problem on a civic del sol (I'm guessing is a similar engine) as you and everyone said it sounded like a bad ignition coil or igniter unit. retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=45829 They don't seem to expensive but am not sure how you would test if its them shop.ebay.co.uk/items/?_nkw=del+sol+ignition+coil&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1312&_odkw=del&_osacat=0 Dan

	I know it sounds REEAAALLLY stoopid but the Vti won't start if the oil level is low... No honest, i'm not joking! HTH, Dean.

	Dave - if there is no spark, I would be betting its the main relay which is borked its a known issue with the EG civic - the Mits(something) relay is really poorly soldered and the joints break down over time It sits by the rh-side of your right foot, behind the trim - you can unplug it and get the joints resoldered (someone who's good with a soldering iron can do this in a few seconds) and it fixes the problem - basically the joint cracks, and it stops the spark (usually when its hot - when its cool the joint contracts and 'hides' the problem) Mine stalled really easily and occasionally wouldnt start when hot, until I worked out what it was - unfortunately it took the ignition coil out before I fixed it, which was a bit more expensive. (not too bad though).
