Car's ECU red light blinks only once aswell. Dont know the codes but i heard it should be more then that

Trace it back

-wires-> distributor cab -> rotor -> distributor -> coil -> battery

Actually, do the battery first. It's easiest.

I did. Got wire's, Cap, Rotor. Stopped at coil and battery. The battery is bigger then what it should be in the car dont know if thats the problem. also the coil i believe might be it cause it cranks but no spark. idk why the ecu blinks once though

Missing ground at thermostat housing? Also, in your other thread you mentioned you failed emissions due to 27 degrees btdc timing. I'm assuming you fixed that?

Ok couple of questions when you say that the ecu light blinks once is that when the key is turned? Also check your ignitor they are known to fail

@Cameron R: Havent checked ground at thermostat housing. Havent fixed that but i did remove cap to dizzy and when i put back on it started. Dont know the problem but i would like to get it fixed and reliable.

@Civic ef99: When keys turned, I was thinking either Iginition Coil, Ignitor or just the dizzy itself. Would like to buy ignitor and coil just in case.

Good idea when the ecu light blinks once its like saying hello I would change the ignitor out had the same problem with my car no spark take of the cap and rotor check wires and it would start right up. Replace it soon though

According to my manual if it blinks once its oxygen content (with cata)

When my Dizzy went out it didn't throw a check engine light, and i have an over sized battery as well (not the reason why the dizzy quit) but good luck getting it running!

Found the problem. When i got the car from the original owner he had a bad ignition coil in his car. So i made sure and checked the coil and found out that the wires werent in all the way cause it was cracked and had bad connection. So i put washer's and its good now. But will need to get a new coil. Maybe one from Oreilly with the lifetime warrenty

Glad to hear it's running. Good job getting it fixed!
