00 Civic - No Spark, No Start.
Ok Guys Here's The Rundown.
Within a two week period Ive:
Replaced Spark Plugs, Replaced Radiator
Replacing The Radiator Solved My Overheating Problem.
The Day I Installed The Radiator, I drove it Around To Test The Overheating - No Problems There, So I Stop by my moms To Help her With something.
As Soon as I Pull Up to her house, the Car Drops to less than 500rpms and the motor shakes extremely hard, then stops. So I restart the car -same thing happens.
So I Pull Spark Plugs 2 and 3 and there wells have a little water in them. No biggie right ? I Grab some towels, soak up the little water that was there, and let it dry out while I'm helping my Mom.
I go to leave, Now The Car Won't start at ALL.
Ive Tested:
Timing Belt - OK
Relays and Fuses - OK.
Battery - OK.
Compression - OK.
Spark at Spark Plugs - FAIL.
Fuel Getting where it needs to go - OK.
I Also Pulled the distro and checked for signs of burnouts, and the damn thing looks brand new !
After researching this ... I'm leaning toward Distributor has died. I'm the average working man, and dropping 200 bones for a distro right now would kill my pockets
Any Idea's to anything else it could be ? Im really hoping its something as simple as a lose wire or something :S

CEL: Is fuse 25 under the dash blown? Is the CEL bulb blown?
No spark: With the key in ON(II), do you measure battery voltage at the BLK/YEL wire connected to the coil and ICM in the distributor? What voltage do you measure at the YEL/GRN wire attached to the ICM?

Ok, Changed Bulb Out ...
Throwing A Code 6 - Water Temp. Sensor.
Would This have Anything to do with a no spark, no start senario ?
I Don't believe so .. but ...

BUMP !!
Replaced the coil ... Got spark again but ...
NO START !
can plugs and wires get so messed up that they won't provide enough spark to fire the plugs ???

Re: 00 Civic - No Spark, No Start.
This is probably stupid of me to say without have changed out, but My wires did get jacked the hell up, seems as though the plastic boot fused with the plugs I had put in before all this happened ...
Im an idiot. lemme change my plugs and wires before I start asking more questions haha

Re: 00 Civic - No Spark, No Start.
this sounds exactly like what's going on with my friend's 200sx. i'm gonna guess it's your wires too because that's the only thing we haven't tried on his SR20DE.

Re: 00 Civic - No Spark, No Start.
actually, he was about to be stupid and sell the car for $1000. he's on his 3rd engine in it. 2 of them (including the one in it now) are JDM. I managed to talk him out of it by agreeing to help him fix it after he helps me fix mine, lol.

UPDATE.
WTF. Got the car started FINALLY.
Started it up and let it sit for a minute ... started overheating.
Added more coolant.
Overheating stopped.
Started car several more times. Even drove it around town !
Get back to the house, and went in the house. less than an hour later, the Motherlicker won't even think about starting.
Whats been replaced on car so far.
Radiator.
spark plugs.
spark plug wires.
Ignition coil.
Full Tank of Gas.
I know this thing will run. I drove it around after replacing the plugs and wires !

Re: 00 Civic - No Spark, No Start.
have you checked to see if the battery and alternator are good? get a volt meter and test the battery for around 12-14 volts with the car off... idk... lol.
i know you said the battery is ok, but you don't say how you checked that.

he brought over some special tool [ I have no idea the name of it ] hooked it up to my battery, and it displayed the voltage coming out of the battery ... That tool looked mad expensive btw ... haha

Re: 00 Civic - No Spark, No Start.
so the motor spins but not starting? have you checked to see if you've lost spark again? is the fuel pump still priming?

Does the car crank and not start. Distributor. Mine was 400 bones don't feel bad. I had the shop do it cause you have to get it timed even if you put one on yourself.
