ok to start out my car ran good(96 integra se)...but i decided to do a tune up, so i did the plugs,wires,cap,rotor...after i did all that i didnt get any spark...so i put all my original stuff back in to see if that was the problem and still no spark..so i did some research on here and found out that it might be my ignition coil, so i took the one out of my 95 civic ex, my car started and ran but it didnt have any power, i mean i would floor it and take it to 7grand but it wouldnt pick up..so i went down and bought a brand igniton coil ($97)and still now power, o yah and it makes a loud whistling noise out of my intake, i have no idea what the problem is , and before i put it in the shop and pay someone an assload of money i would like to see if you guys could help me solve this problem myself.. thank you all in advance..

help help help..

 

maybe u have a stuck throttle? iono...

someone help this guy out.

 

a whistle coming from the intake sounds like it would be a vaccum problem which i believe would cause a problem with power, in your case not having any power. there is a chance that you could have damaged one of the hoses while doing the tune-up, so check that. the easiest thing to do is just to find the vaccum leak and temporarily wrap it in electrical tape then test drive it. good luck

 

that is what i thought it was.. i looked around for a vacume hose leak put i couldlnt find anything...i will have to look closer... thanks for the help....

 

cant find a vacume hose leak anywhere.....any other input? i need my car back by tomorrow i have class, and then work...help please

 

check and make sure your spark plug wires are in the right order.

 

i thought that too, so i search on here and found what it should be...
4321 -across the valve cover and on the -distributer it goes
34
12
right?

 

The firing order is 1-3-4-2. The #1 cyl. is the one closest to the pulleys.
