HELP! car turns over and over but no start
Well i just replaced my spark plugs and wires and my dizzy cap, and also did a compression test in my 94 civic ex with the d16z6 motor. I doubled checked the firing order and its correct. Fuel pump is priming and it is getting fuel. The car keeps turning over and it just wont start. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

You didn't by any chance lose the spring that connects the coil to the distributor cap did you?

check for fire, if there is no fire then theres most likely something wring with the distributor. if you have fire then triple check your firing order.

Just thought i'd post this pic of the firing order, this is easily the best diagram i've ever seen for it, you just can't possibly go wrong with this one.

Re: HELP! car turns over and over but no start (94EG8)
okay i checked for spark and it seems the car is not getting anything so there must be something wrong with the distributor. So my buddy told me to replace the ignition coil and see if that helps. now should i do this or just go on ahead and buy a new distributor?

Battery is good that one of first things we checked.. so back to problem something is wrong with the dizzy its not getting any spark so should i just replace the ignition coil or should i go ahead and buy a new replacement?

I know that's right, but I could almost swear that's not how mine is connected. crap, now i feel the need to go pop my hood and check.

Re: (19cIvIc94)
Have you tried the old cap on the off chance the new one was somehow defective? Don't assume new parts are good parts, i've seen lots of stuff bad right out of the box.

No, just go by the cap, IE compare that flat side to the flat side etc.
