Hey guys having an issue with my car. It drove great 2 weeks ago put on about 100 or so milea. went to go start It that upcoming Monday and all it did was crank. I heard the fuel pump prime but seemed like I have no spark. Since then have changed cap rotor coil and igniter. It seems like I have spark now cuz it will studder but won't run. I have checked the ground on the thermostat and also checked the timing twice. Everything looks good. What would be my next step.
Thanks in advance for any help

Test for bright white spark at all 4 plugs using a new properly gapped spark plug.

Make sure the plug wires are installed in the proper firing order on the distributor cap.

Post the CEL codes.

The car is in proper firing order made sure I checked that and there are no check engine lights on

Former User

Does the CEL work?

Verify firing order with pictures.

Check for bright white spark.

gerbsgsr

Yes it works and yes I have checked firing order with picture can't check spark color cuz I have no one helping me

Former User

Where is this picture? Did you post it?

Find somebody to help you.

Well it's raining right now and I dont have a garage to work on it so I'm can't work on it at the moment

Former User

There's no hurry. Post again when you have results.

civic men

you really need to check the colour and conditions of the spark

gerbsgsr

Alright I'll look into that hopefully tomorrow


okay lets just say the spark isnt bright white what would be the step to fixing that
do i need to get plugs and wires for it

I'm a little rusty but I believe Ron will tell you to the either test or replace your ICM in the distributor.

coil is a much more realistic possibility, and bench testable.

gerbsgsr

The coil is brand new I dought that is my problem

Don't care if it's brand new or not. You still need to follow diagnostic procedures, which you still haven't.

gerbsgsr

What you mean I haven't gone through a diagnostic procedure the othing thing I haven't done is check the color of the spark. I went from having no spark to getting spark so I think I have gone through some sort of procedure

No, what you did is called guessing, and replacing random parts. You haven't done anything diagnostic. Everything you have posted so far has been guesses and assumptions. Get back to us when you actually HAVE checked the spark color.
