So I drove to work, when I got there the Tach dropped to zero while the car was running. I shut it off then it wouldn't start again. So far i've replaced the starter (just time, not related to no spark...), plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. Along with the fuel filter (yes i'm getting fuel, but no spark).

So I went though the tests to check for a bad Igniter or Ignition Coil. Coil tests fine, however i'm stuck with the Igniter. Here is the test I did...

"Now here is how to diagnose problems with the Igniter Unit:
Check for voltage between the BLK/YEL wire and the body ground with the ignition switch on. There should be battery voltage. If there is no voltate, check for an open in the BLK/YEL wire between the igniter unit and the ignition switch.
Next, check for voltage between the WHT/BLU wire and the body ground with the ignition switch on. There should be battery voltage. If there is no voltage, check for: faulty ignition coil or an open in the WHT/BLU wire between the igniter unit and the ignition coil.
Next, check for continuity between the WHT wire and the body ground. There should be continuity. If there is no continuity, check for: and open in the WHT wire between the igniter unit and the ECU or poor ground.
Next, check for continuity between the BLU wire and the body ground. There should be continuity. If there is no continuity, check for: and open in the BLU wire between the igniter unit and the tachometer (or the A/T control unit) or poor ground.
And if all continuity and voltage tests are normal (with a known good 50A fuse), but the engine won't start - replace the igniter unit."

When I got to the continuity tests for Tach and Ecu I got readings of 18 and 91.3 respectively. So obviously not continuous. I do have power to the first two tests. The Fuses are good. So anyone wanna help as to why it's saying it's not continuous? This has been giving me a headache for a few days now.

Thanks!

It's a 91 Accord LX A/T by the way.

Or are those readings just resistance? It is continues but has resistance? Are those normal values.

According to your ?s you don't even know what you were checking for? What are the settings did you use on the multimeter then ? You could create other problems on your car by randomly checking wires.If you are not sure what are you doing ask and wait,at least it won't create bigger troubles.
