Re: pls help car won't start help asap (dpetro1)
i bet you anything that sparkplug wire order is what is holding you back...
i made the same mistake, except the car started, causing the car to run like ****.
I thought my motor was blown for a while....untill my buddy noticed it.

That's called "Red Death" and means the bushing in the distributor sub-assembly is about to take a **** on you. When this wears out, it allows the shaft to wobble which sends out 'incorrect' ignition waveforms to the ECU. You can try searching for a replacement bushing/bearing but I don't know that anyone ever found one to work. Honda certainly doesn't make one - you can only get the sub-assembly from them.

Re: pls help car won't start help asap (spoon95eg)
Like I said, I know of no one that has sourced a replacement bushing/bearing, so at this point your only option is to get it from the dealer/online. So you don't need to buy a whole distributor, just the sub-assembly - the cage, if you will. You can transplant all your other stuff over to it (coil, igniter, etc).
