Default ITR swap wont start

i pulled my ITR swap out of my car and stuck it in my friends car. but now for some reason i cant get the damn thing to start. I replaced the ignitor (the damn thing crumbled). I figured that would be the problem but it wasnt. im still not getting spark.

the thing just sits there and cranks and cranks. could it be the coil or the cap? i already replaced the rotor and ignitor.

why isn't this in the integra or type r forum?

If it isn't getting spark then it has to be a problem with the distributor/wires/or plugs right?

i checked the wires for continuity, the dizzy is still good. i havent replaced the plugs but i think i might today.

isnt red dust a sign of a cap going bad onyou? would a bad cap cause no spark?

a cap would have to be really really bad to not allow any spark at all. usually it causes occasionaly missing or sputtering.
