    Damn girls if they ain't gonna help when things get rough then you don't need'em. Plenty of them around. :D Sorry about your car bro. Hopefully it's not the timing belt cause if it is your valves are probably gone too cause the pistons will hit the valves 99% of the time. $$$ :(

    I had a older model honda prelude (88). when the timing belt slipped it killed the valve train and i had to but a new motor vs. repair the existing motor. hope yours isnt too pricey =0(:o :'(

    it does suck

    it sucks that it happened to you. If it is timing belt, then most likeley you are going to be a new proud owner of an EP3. I am most positive that the engine in the 91 civic is "interfierence" egnine, and the cost of replacing the head and pistons could be more than the car is worth.
    Hopefully it is just the ignition coil, ignition wires, or starter.

    Just wondering is are EP a "interfierence" egnine? I never looked to see if we have negative valve clearence.

    That sucks about the car though. What has me worried is that is will not turn over. Does it making a clicking sound or anything when you try to turn it over? If the engine is ok get that belt changed if that was not even the problem.

    ....with the car just idling I highly doubt if any valve train damage was done if it is the timing belt.

    Umm...all D-series motors were interferance motors. You may have just gotten lucky and the belt broke when some of your valves were closed and the others were slightly open.
