90 honda civic dx is my cap and rotor bad? getting spark at coil and igniter but not
im tracing my no start problem down. ive tested all fuses, main relay good. i tested for spark at the wires and im not getting spark. i AM getting spark at both the igniter and coil. so would that mean my cap and rotor are bad? is there a way to test them?

How long has it been since you replaced your cap and rotor? I had an older car where the spark was getting to the cap but would jump through the rotor and ground itself to the engine. It wouldn't hurt to replace them. All you can do to test it is to make sure you are getting spark to the cap, and seeing if your are getting spark out of the cap.
