    91 honda civic won't start,
    new igniters, lot's of sparks
    fuel p/p lot's of pressure (40 psi) comes on when the switch is turned
    on
    lot's of compression (165 psi)
    ecu light comes on
    even tried to drop gas in the intake, nothing happened
    it's like something is preventing gas of going to the manifold
    no fault codes, no light in dash, starter turns...
    need help, the nearest Honda dealer is 200 miles

    Try to rework your message into something less contradictory and more
    coherent.

    You at once have the MIL illuminated and it not. There is only ONE igniter.
    You have spark and fuel but no fire. Your post does not make any sense.

    Did it die while moving, or just not start one Monday morning? If
    Monday, hold the pedal to the floor and crank it for up to 15 seconds at
    a time (this is in the owner's manual under flooded engine) and if it
    starts, clean your (dribbling) injector with some Techron.

    Sorry, just one igniter, and I changed it
    it stalled while I was driving and it won't start again,
    What could go wrong to prevent fuel from going from the intake to the
    engine, like I said, tried to drop some gas straight into the intake

    I've checked the main relay,

    I presume you know that it isn't the relay going 'click' but rather but
    the solder joint on one of the mounting legs that goes bad and breaks
    the connection. However, if your pump is running and delivering pressure
    then the other thing you haven't repoted on is the fuel filter on the
    engine
    bulkhead.

    If you take a sparkplug out is it damp with fuel or soaked?

    I broke the line after the filter and I have gas with pressure, but my
    spark plugs are dry
    what is preventing gas of going into the engine, I tried pouring gas
    straight into the intake, and nothing happened

    It's my guess that the injectors may be clogged up. I am just guessing.
    You should consider buying a repair manual from a auto store such as
    NAPA. There may be instuctions on how to remove and clean the injectors.
    I have never done it since I use fuel injector cleaner about once every
    two months to keep them cleaned out. You may have "dirty" gas or gas that
    has water in it. If so, you will continue to have problems until that tank
    of gas is used. Don't ever buy gas at that station again.
    Have you determined whether or not your timing belt is working correctly.
    If the timing belt broke or is stripped, you will not be able to start
    your engine.
