Re: 1991 Honda Civic won't start

ok, so I got it started by replacing the ignitor and ignition coil.

Its still shaking when I drive though, especially when waiting at a light, and it seem to be accelerating as efficiently either.

Re: 1991 Honda Civic won't start

can someone give me the instructions for checking for power at the ignition coil? I looked it up online and it looks like I have to actually open up the brass casing the coil is in.

Re: 1991 Honda Civic won't start

sure, but it was running before with the low compression so i think the lack of spark is the first problem I need to worry about. What could be causing no spark?

I just suggested to my dad the timing belt problem and he said the problem is that the car is not getting power. There is no spark and this wouldnt have anything to do with the belt...

Re: 7 symptoms, one problem?

Well, I did a compression test and all the cylinders were the same but "low". Oil looks fine, no bubbles in the rad. Don't think it's a head gasket problem, think it was just a matter of not bleeding...

Re: engine overheating? smoke from manifold area

another suggestion regarding the surging is that the plugs and wires need changing. Though I hadn't mentioned the smoke in that post.
