While driving home last night, heard a pop and the car stalled. Cranks just fine, won't kick over. Anyone have any ideas. I changed the fuel filter and cap and rotor. Someone was telling me they thought it might be the fuel pump.

Unfortunately my first fear is that with the pop sound and the stall...it sounds like the timing belt

Easiest way to check is to pull a fell bolts out where you can GENTLY bend the cover enough where you can peak in with a flashlight...no belt...then thats it.

If the belt is there...it doesnt eliminate it....it could be stuck on the top gears...however I would refrain from trying to crank it until you 100% eliminate that...because you dont want to put a valve in a piston or something

Its not the timing belt. There's no spark. I ran a google search and came up with 7 different complaints regarding 93 Accords and a part called the igniter. I asked the garage to start there on Friday. They just ordered the part last night. How much is there to test in the ignition system??? I am terribly afraid of what this bill is going to look like.

igniter...never heard of...but I have heard of an ignition module, ignition sensor, ignition reluctor and ignition relay...

testing the ignition system is very simple however a shop will likely charge $100 to $150 to do it...takes about 3 minutes per cylinder...you can do it yourself with a screwdriver with an insulated handle and a friends help

or coil wire

I'd deffinitley check the distributor, but thats just me... thats the 1st thing I would do... After that I'd start to do the "A-B" tests every where with a multimeter... just checking for the right out put on all of it.
I would never take my car into a garage that is not my own. Unless It's to register it or what not...
