87 Civic. No start
I'm posting this for a friend who doesn't have newsgroup access, so I'll
give all the information I can. The car - 1987 Civic, d15a2 (1500cc, carb) engine, 4 speed. The problem - The car died at an intersection and will not restart. It gets fuel and spark, but will not fire. The ignition coils tests fine. If more info is needed, I can get it and post it to this thread. Any ideas on where to go from here? Thanks.

Re: 87 Civic. No start
Either timing is way off, broken timing belt, or no compression due to bad head
gasket.

Remove the oil filler cap and observe the cam while someone turns the engine over. If the cam's not turning, it will probably be cheaper to get a new car than fix the engine after a broken timing belt.
