Default Car wont start
just bought a 2000 civic si a couple weeks ago and there hasnt been a single problem until now. last night i parked my car and went inside my house for 30 minutes. When I came back out my car wouldnt start. It turns over but wont actually start . its getting enough power and its not timing or fuel. possibly leaning towards the spark or a ground but not sure.

it prolly is the coil, or the ignitor inside the dizzy...
plug wires?
spark plugs?
a fuse?

anything is possible..

bypass the MSD and use the coil or put on a stock coil again. Usually the coil is bad.
