I have a 90 civic Si that I bought 2 years ago. Saturday I drove it to work and back with no problems. It sat till Sunday night I tried to drive it and it wouldn't start. Main relay is less than a year old. The fuel pump primes and I pulled a spark plug out and I see spark. If I keep cranking the engine it acts like it wants to start sometimes. This morning I kept cranking it till it finally started it ran for about a minute and then just shut off. I know there are tons of post about this all over forums but thought I would try again with this post. Thanks for reading.
 
Also it's not throwing any codes. The LED on the ecu does blink once when I turn over the key but nothing else after that.
 
Here's an update. Took the cap off the distributor and the screw that holds the rotor in place had came loose and fell out. Bought a new cap and rotor and its running like a champ now!
