Well, I just spent a whole day with the car. First I tried to use my
jumper
battery and after that didn't work, I went for a gallon of gas, thinking
the
tank was near empty. That was also no help, so it was time to call for a
tow to the repair station. Once I got it in for repair, the first
diagnosis was the distributor went because there wasn't a spark when
trying
to start the car. Remember that there wasn't a problem with the battery
as
the lights, radio, and engine were cranking. The engine just wouldn't
start.
After I came home, I received a call from the tech who said that upon
further
inspection, it wasn't the distributor. When he looked under the
dashboard,
he noticed my computer was missing!
That's probably why I saw the positive battery clamp off the terminal last
night. When someone broke in to steal the computer, to shut the alarm
they
disengaged the positive clamp from the battery.
Why would anyone want a 1995 Civic Ex computer? Is this common?
I don't know how a thief into the car so easily. There's a Chapman lock
for
the hood, and there's no sign of forced entry.
Anyone know where to get a new one? I see that RockAuto has one that has
to
be ordered.
