do you hear your fuel pump kick in???
if not double check that all your ground have a good contact.
if that dont work try a different ecu
then let me know by pm and i'll figure something else out

Research what the voltages are for the coil inside your distributor. Main fuses under the hood, also checking your relays. Spark plugs. Starter. Battery (laughs). Ignition system, follow from key out.
Good Luck!

it's gotta be something to do with the igniter. Doubtfull all 4 spark plugs are shot. It's obvious the reason his car isn't starting is because of lack of spark, so starter, battery, fuel pump, blah blah blah has nothing to do with it. Unlesssssss, after he changed the distributer he now has spark. Please let us know tfus if you now have spark or not.

no I changed dist. plugs and wires and still no spark. I am trying to check fuses and things but im still new to this sorta stuff. The car is a 93 civic coupe with a b18 swap, so its hard to follow schematics and figure out wtf is what.

Is it trying to turn over, just not sparking?

Tow it to the shop, I'll get it running in a jiffy.

Check the ICM, ignition coil, all the internal distributor sensors (there are 3), if that fails, ECU wiring, fuses, etc.

tfus

yes it is cranking but not sparking... lol well where is the shop chris? haha the dist. is good it was just rebuild so i know its working... i was tracing ECU wiring tonight a bit and all the fuses look to be ok... the problem is i didnt do the install, so i have no idea what the cluster of wires for the ECU go too :S
