Honda Civic with B20 swap cranks but won't start
1994 Honda Civic. Cranks but doesn't start. Fuel pump primes gets a red spark not blue.
Will the weak spark sill be enough to start car?
What should I change?
Thanks in advance.

Probably not enough spark. Start with plugs and wires. Wires are far more important than people think, If that doesnt help try the disttributor

I already got it tested at Autozone. Tested at 10 so I got a new one. Car fired up then died after idle. Spark is still red.

Alright thanks. Only car I can test one off of is a GSR. Would the vtec distributor work? I know the bolt mounting locations are different.

Re: Honda Civic with B20 swap cranks but won't start
Update. Got a new distributor. Didn't spark so I changed to coil in it. Sparked but didn't start.
Eventually my friend's brother in law started to just crank the car and floor the gas and eventually it just started. Don't know why but it did. Any ideas why?
