the numbers on top of the distributor are dst17427 and below that it says bk10e4. its definitely not the original one that came with the car.

just reset the ecu and tryed to start and got nothing. tryed the jumper code again and it came up with a solid light on, no flashing whatsoever. any other options to figure out whats wrong before i go spend money on a new distributor.. would suck if that wasnt the problem.

Re: 1993 honda civic dx spark problems
It's hard get the tension right on the alternator belt because you have to hold the alternator back to tension the belt while you are tightening the alternator bolts.
You should probably purchase a manual that can give you directions with pictures.
