Another thing to check would be the main relay.
I had this prob it was my roto button and cap
Sounds to me like the timing has slipped a bit. by the sound of it you have good fuel delivery. A pretty typical symptom is the engine just about starts. That's where I would be checking
Change your fuel filter. Probably clogged. If you get it started, even though it's clogged, the extra work required by the fuel pump to push fuel through will wear out the pump prematurely.
Be prepared to change your fuel pump soon. You probably have two pumps: a boost pump to push it up out of the tank, and a high pressure pump to drive your injectors. So if you change the filter, and you get it running, get ready for a pump change. And while you're doing that, go ahead and change out both pumps. Fuel pumps work together just like your headlamps. If one headlamp goes out, you change both, so do the same with your fuel pumps.

I already changed the fuel filter. When I did, there was plenty of fuel in the old one and after putting in the new one, fuel immediately filled it. Would the pump still be the problem?
See, I thought the timing as well. When I turn the engine over, it tries to start. It just sounds like its wheening. I know how to change a belt, but I only worked on my old chevy truck, never an import. Does this CRX have a timing belt? Or is it a chain drive? Where would I look for the belt in this car? I really do apreciate the feedback. This has been helpful so far
How would I know if my fuel pump is bad?
I was driving around the other day and my 1990 CRX stalled out. It wouldn't restart so I had to tow it home. Once I got it home I disconnected the feed line to the filter to see if the pump was working and it was. Next I disconnected the line coming out of the filter at the inlet to the fuel rail and had fuel there also. Then I disconnected the fuel return line just after the fuel rail and there was nothing coming out. Could the problem be a fuel pressure regulator?
