1. Get a factory helms manual for the vehicle.
2. Diagnose the igniton system per the manual's instructions.

Sorry took so long to respond lack of computer access but where can i find this helms manual is it at library or do i have to get it from the dealer

Kragen has a Chiltons Manual, its like the same thing. But most people prefer Helms. Umm.. Just a thought, and Im only saying this because it happened to me when I was diagnosing an electrical problem I had. Check your underdash fuse box, Make sure all your fuses are good, because there's one that kills spark to your engine, so if you HAD spark and now you don't, you could have conceivably blown the fuse

Here is a diagram of a newer civic, because it's all I could find on Google, to show you which one I mean, Hope this helps.

hey so it started up when i figured out few things but now its not starting again fuel pump starts getting spark i don't know what to check now any suggestions

random thing to check when your car mysteriously won't start --> the switch that the clutch depresses. The little rubber thing that pushes the switch in will get old, deteriorate and break off or flex too much to push the plunger. I have had a couple of situations where I was going nuts trying to find the issue and eventually worked back to that.

Hey guys thanks for the help seemed that the ignitor died in the dizzy which I already replaced before but anyways it's running really rough like no power at all any ideas?!! V tec definately not hooked up but would that really matter at this point I would but I'm gonna have to wire a bunch of diff things to n from ecu n vtec solenoid

If you keep blowing igniters get a new set of leads. Make sure they are plugged onto the correct plugs. Do not crank the engine with the dissy wired in but a plug lead off.
