have you changed spark plugs and plug wires lately? try that

[Grimm Reeper]

Here's one way to check. Jack up the driver side of the car and pull the front wheel off so that you can see the crank, I forgot the size of the bolt on the crank (but whatever size it might be) put the socket on the crank. Pull the spark plug out of Cylinder 1 and place a wire clothing hanger in it so that it's touching the top of the piston, pull your dizzy (distributor) out of the head, open the cover to make sure that it's on 1, by following the plug that you've just pulled out. Now go back to the crank (while keep eye-level on the wire) turn the crank counter-clockwise and watch for the wire to go down and when it comes back up to the point that you know it's about to go down stop, put everything back on.


I know it's pretty long, but hey when you don't have the money at the time and have experience, do what you got to do.

[hatchlsswap]

yeah the fuel pump works im just not getting spark to the plugs i changed the whole distributor but my friend told me that i needed to adjust the timing i did that just like jdm_ek4 told me to but still no spark

[Grimm Reeper]

Is your battery any good , cause I had a similar prob back in the day, I did all that and it came out that my battery wasn't strong enough, try checking that.


How did you check your spark?

[Wurm]

check your fuses

[AnclyT]

bring it to "Vuong's Garage"

he's an IA sponsor, and does quality work for the low

[hatchlsswap]

wat fuses would cause that problem???

[VTECxRoCKz]

do you even have the block off plug to the fuel injectors on the wiring harness its located where resistor box are in older hondas

[AnTi-PooN]

have you tryed to pop the clutch?????? if you do that and it cranks it eliminates alot of possible problems.
