B18B engine - no spark!
I hope this is the right place to post this..
My Integra isn't starting. It turns over but that's it. I've tested the spark and there isn't any!
I replaced the rotor, as the tip was blackened, as well as the cap, as the terminals where corroded.
The spark plugs are brand new (i ran the engine after i changed them, but it was the next time i tried starting it that it wouldn't).
I replaced the leads as one of the spark plug boots broke.
I opened up the distributor and tested the coil, it seems to be fine.
There was voltage on the coil when the key was in the on position.
I replaced the ICM, coz that was all that was left.
But there's still no spark!

Try a known good coil, i believe D series will fit as well.
Iv bought one from Auto zone and used it to test if mine was bad and returned it saying i bought the wrong "coil" haha

Re: B18B engine - no spark!
It ended up being the coil. Had my friend crank the engine while I used a circuit tester probe to create a spark at the coil. It was super weak, small spark and yellow colour.
Weird that when I tested the coil using an Ohmeter, the values seemed to all be good. Must've done in improperly,
