Default LS Problems

93 Acura Integra 1.8L Non-VTEC (stock)

Alright, my problem is when it gets really hot outside, like it has been these past couple of days, my car won't start. It will crank but it won't start. My battery was reading good, my starter cranks hard, and I can smell fuel, but there just isn't a spark. I took a plug wire off the dizzy and tried to start it and the spark was very weak. I recently replaced the dizzy with a brand new one, but the symptoms I have now are the same symptoms that lead me to buying a new dizzy. I can go out in the morning and start my car with no problem at all, but when it gets warm (around 2-4), it won't start. What could be casuing this? Is it possible that my high cabin temperatures are screwing with my ecu?

Are u absolutely sure its getting fuel? Usually when the main relays act up, is when it gets warm outside. That could be your problem. Try finding another and checking it out. Maybe a friend has one available.

Now that you mentioned that, I do remember hearing a weird buzzing noise from under the hood. I couldn't really tell where it was coming from, but it only does it when the key is in the on position.

Main Fuel Relay. Try hitting it while trying to start your car up.

Not equipped with abs.

Where is that exactly? The noise I'm hearing is coming from the area in between the radiator and my passenger side headlight.
