can't figure out why my car won't start? help please!
just recently my 94 accord got flooded. it sat in water that was up to the headlights. it did not damage the car, but it did fry the ecu. after a week i stuck a p72 in there and it ran fine. insurance gave me money to buy a new ecu and carpet. but i bought hondata. long story short. i have a h22 turbo in my accord (modified drag kit). then i put it in the shop to get a hondata s100b, 790cc inj, aeromtive adj. fpr, 3 bar map, boost controller, turbo timer, and a t3 60-1 installed all at once.
when it was all ready, we programmed a base map in on the hondata and it was really hard to start. we assumed the base map had to much fuel. so on the way to the dyno my car stalls out and i cant start it again. it threw code 15 (ignition system) so i replaced the igniter in the distributer and it still did not start but no code this time. so i pull the spark plug wire out to see if i can arc it to see if its working... and its not sparking. so its not igniting... can someone help, i dont know what the problem is no spark, no CEL. is it my distrubuter? something in it? main relay? im stumped...

Damn try the distributer first ...if the crank angle doesnt work ...it will send no spark..
im assuming you checked the fuses ...and make sure the motor is grounded properly

Sounds like the icm could be bad. Its in the dist. and you should check it for continuity between the dist and the ecu. Just check all the wires in the dist between there and the ecu. Its in the dist. somewhere. Good luck. I say ICM
