Help! AT Civic biglang namatay makina, ayaw na mag-start

[garci]

While going down a mall parking lot, the engine of my old backup car, a '94 Automatic Transmission Civic suddenly shut off and won't restart again. May naamoy kaming parang sunog na wire nung namatay ang engine. Nawalan din ng power steering and brakes.

Mukhang ok naman ang battery since malakas naman mag-crank ang starter. Di lang makatuloy. What I noticed is naka-light ang engine and oil indicator and other indicators whenever I try to start. At first akala ko natuyuan ng gasoline kasi di ko napansin na paubos na pala (stupid me) ang laman pero ayaw pa rin after we added a few liters. Pinatow na lang namin tuloy pauwi.

Medyo not well-maintained itong car na ito kasi bihira lang gamitin. Peroi hinihiram sa amin from time to time kaya iba iba ang nagdra-drive.

What's wrong kaya? Saan kaya ok pa repair?

distributor yan malamang...pa check mo.

As you turn the ignition switch to ON, wait a few seconds to observe the check engine light, before starting the car. Does the Check Engine light go off? If it goes off after a few seconds, do you hear the distinct "click" sound as the light goes off?

my bet sir is ECU...

[garci]

Autobeat: Nope, the engine indicator does not go off.

Jacknigel: That's what I suspect since amamoy dun sa loob ng car pero hopefully not.

Saan ba pwede ipadiagnose? Mahal sigurado sa Casa. How much ba ECU nowadays kung ito talaga sira?

Kahit sa P or N ayaw na din po magstart?

Kahit sa P or N ayaw na din po magstart?

Yup nasa P naman. nagcra-crank ang starter pero ayaw tumuloy.

Hope Not :

Short Circuit due to friction while driving and busted the ECU .

Hope So :

Distributor lang

If you have a check engine light on,Have it scan for error code.Don't jump into conclusion.

where are you? it might be better to get the opinion of your suking talyer rather than comming to conclusions you're not sure are correct.
