Please help, this car won't start now, but was running previously. This is on a 99 Civic LX, 180K+ miles. Changed timing belt and then reinstalled everything. Had some of the spark plug wires wrong, but still ran, got them on right now. It bogged/skipped a tad when depressing the accelerator, but once up in the the RPM's it would run fine. We drove this car from GA, to Washington DC, no problems (minus slight bogg under light gas pedal). It also appeared to just be a problem (skipping/bogging) just when the motor was cold.
Fast forward about a week or two, my wife is leaving work and calls me to say the car cut off and won't start. I go to see what the deal is, smells like gas...pretty sure no spark. Can't diagnose much in a parking garage with almost NO tools/flashlight etc. Anyway, parts that have been changed (tired of throwing parts at it at this point) include:
Any help would be VERY MUCH appreciated as I am not a HONDA guy and haven't messed with these things much at all.
Thanks.
