1995 Civic with B16 DOHC vtec OBD1 all stock except cold air intake.

lost spark on my B16 so i replaced the distributor, but after the new dizzy was installed i lost injector pulse. With the old distributor the injectors fire but i have no spark, and with the new dizzy i get spark but no injector pulse.

Any ideas what it could be?

hahaha thanks for the input ejv8s10. Is it a known good distributor? What kind did you get?

Santa Cruzin

yea as far as i can tell, its a richporter distributor which i already had them replace thinking it could be a defective distributor, is there something else it could be?

Rules sticky. Read it. There is required information you aren't providing. Strong chance you have some kind of wiring clusterfuck.

Yea dude, it does sounds like some sort of clusterfuck. What about everything else? Have you checked if you are getting fuel to the injectors? I would try to get my hands on the pinout for the distributor to see if it's the correct model for the application. Can you confirm that the injectors are receiving no voltage?......with numbers or definitive lack thereof?

With the old TEC distributor the fuel injectors seem to work fine but i have no spark, and with the new distributor I get spark but injectors are not firing, would this indicate a problem with the new distributor? or a wiring issue?

You said you already had the new distributor replaced, and the issue persisted. Was that not true? Also, this is the last time I'm going to post this. You aren't a special snowflake, you aren't exempt from the rules, and if you want any kind of real advice from the people who know what they're talking about, you'll read the rules sticky and fix yourself.

sorry guys, just so consumed in trying to figure out the issue i neglected to read the rules sticky.
Car is a 1995 Civic with B16 DOHC vtec OBD1 all stock except cold air intake.

Santa Cruzin

basically with the old distributor i lost spark but the injectors will fire.

With the new distributor i have spark but injectors dont fire.

I think the fact that the injectors work with the old distributor would rule out any wiring issues. Does the timing sensors in the distributor have anything to do with the injectors working? If so, is there a way to test them?

Santa Cruzin

Also, if i left anything out for the car info or didnt follow a rule please let me know, im new to forums. Still learning the rules lol, but i do very much appreciate any of you guys taking the time to help me.

Please paste the car information into your first post.

Okay so the engine had no spark first, you installed a new aftermarket distributor, at that point the engine has spark but now the injectors don't spray and you replaced the new distributor with a second new one and still no fuel spray. All this correct?

How did you determine you didn't have spark and now you do? How did you determine you had fuel spray but now dont? Did you remove the fuel rail with the injectors from the intake manifold and see them spray/not?

Out of curiosity did you install the engine in the car or was it already there? What ecu are you using at the moment?

It sounds like it could be a OBD1 vs OBD2 problem.
