I have a 1991 honda civic wagon with a obd0 dpfi converted to mpfi b16a in it. The swap was done two months ago and everything was perfect. Yesterday i was on the highway driving when the car just shut off on me. When i would try to crank it, it would turn over but not start. This is what I know so far, there is no power going to the fuel pump, and no power going to the fuel pump relay, also no spark coming from the distributor, all fuses are fine. I was thinking it could be the fuel pump relay but there is no power going to it at all, so can it be my computer(PWO) going bad? So can someone please help.. i really need this car to be running.

    I checked all the grounds, but dont worry i found out the problem, it was a bad alternator fuse that i over looked when i went to check.Thanks alot bro.

    this happend to me but im not swapped but worth a try non the less, hit a junk yard a pull the wire harness from the ignition where the key inserts on any same gen civic. There is a plastic ring on the back of where the key goes in that basiclly says yea theres a key in me now we can start the car now. its the only thing up there and there is only one plug/socket on it, it just gets old and wears out. i dont have a pic on my computer sorry... its a long shot but maybe. goodluck!

    Check and make sure the rotor inside the dist is still attached and spinning when you crank it. Hate to say it, but just rolling down the road and dying is a common description of a t-belt breaking. If the rotor inside the dist isnt spinning, youll get no signal to initiate spark or fuel. Take the cap off and have somone turn it over and make sure it spins and is attached well. Ive had that little screw that holds the rotor on come off on me three times in one year on three different cars. Frustrating.
