I've actually had a problem with a fuel pressure regulator before on a saturn. Car would die randomly and occasionally not start at all. If it set for a while it would run but after driving a few miles whatever was clogging it would stop it up.

Alllllright well no spark after checking. My tuner hooked it up and is going to come get the car personally with his trailer so I don't have to worry about coughing up cash for a tow. I'll update when I figure out WTF is going on. FML.

I had an issue once where something (vibration?) caused the wire on the alternator to come loose. Sometimes the car would crank all day but never start. I had to push start it twice at a gas station because I could not figure out what was wrong. Using a long screwdriver I pushed it back on and I've never had an issue since.
Take a flashlight and a long screwdriver and play with the wire a bit. Also check the grounds on the back of the head (with your hand, because you cannot see them) to make sure they haven't vibrated off.

Waiting on the car to be picked up she's chillin in the garage at honda right now. The shop had a dyno day this weekend and wanted to wait because they wanted space for the meet. It'll be in there sometime this week should know something within a day or two I'd imagine. Also, as long as it's not my AEM car will be getting a retune and will hopefully be putting down 450+ rwhp within the next week or so 
But for now: no, no update.

So my tuner talked to AEM today and it seems like they've been having a wave of cars with issues similar to mine and it's a problem with the crank position sensor. Have one on the way should be on the car Tuesday, hopefully that'll be the end of all this!
