ok here it goes i purchased this 99 ek si from my cousin didnt take care of this car. so today i was changing the radiator and i had the car on idel and the car started to bog out after this happend i changed the fuel filter and still couldnt get to start my next guess is the fuel pump? anything fed back would greatly helpfull
 
Is the car stock? You can check to see if each cylinder is firing (getting fuel and spark) buy pulling 1 plug wire off at a time while the engine is running, each time you remove 1 plug wire it will make the engine lope hard, that means its working, put the plug back on and try the next, if you pull one plug and nothing happens that's a dead cylinder!
 
yes the motor is stock all i have in it is intake everything is stock no the car is not turning on. it sounds like it does want to turn on but it doesnt. what it sounds like there is no fuel going to the motor when i turn the key i cant here the fuel pump turning on. where is the fuses that i need to check for the fuel pump? or the relay? before i buy a fuel pump. i changed the fuel filter and still nothing
 
The main relay controls the fuel pump and spark, it is in the passenger side area above the ecu, you need to drop the glovebox down to access it. I recently bought a new Main Relay OEM from honda for about $55 shipped!!
 
sounds like a distibutor problem man. dis hapend my ek9 changed da whole unit and havnt had a problem since.Da coil or rotor arm in da distributor maybe gone.
 
distibutor? damn...ok this is what happened i installed a radiator cause it was leaking i left the car on didnt touch the gas pedal so i can let the fan turn on but then the car bogged out slowly. so i tried turning it back on and it doesnt turn on no. and n i cant here the fuel pump turn on? so do you think it could be the disitbutor? i havent checked the fuses i will tonight but i dont know what it is?
 
Id do a compression check because its possible to seize the engine doing that (changing the rad while the engines running), its somthing you should never do for MANY reasons! It has water-cooling for a reason.. the explosion of fuel vapours makes ALOT of heat. and the motor will have gotton VERY hot, especially in your climate.
