Ok... heres the situation. i start my car, then i start backing out of my driveway. then the car just stops and will not start. i then run the basic tests to check everything and i have no spark.

what could it be to cause my engine to imideately drop spark like that? i have a b16a ef that has been working fine(except TPS code) and i have driven it about 10 000 miles since my swap.

any help?
thanks for your suggestions....

distributor tests are in section 23 of the Helms manual. I'd start with those. I think it was page 23-100 or something like that... I forget I posted it earlier

i went thru the helms and everything has checked out...

coil is good and there is no loose/corodded wires. it then told me to take it in for further inspection.

i also checked my swap wiring for loose connections or frayed wires and it is perfect, im really not sure what it could be thats causing ALL 4 cylinders to have NO spark at all...

check if the rotor came off that happened to me in my old prelude. When i was driving the rotor scre came off and my car just died. It took me like about 3 hours just to consider if it was the rotor but thats what it was and bam it worked again.

a little off topic but have you figured out why you get the TPS code? I've go that one to in b16a ef. Funny your car won't start mine won't turn off. Have you checked the wiring in the ignition column to see if there is voltage going there?

^^your TPS is out of range get out your volt meter and set the range back on it...fix the TPS first then try and start it lol maybe it's just so fare outta range...
