listen to how dumb this sounds ...woke up today went to work came up and then decided to put my new valve cover on my b18b1 in a 1994 civic ..car was running great last night we went out and took a few runs againts my buddys and even beat 2 gsr hatches. prolly cause they have no clue how to drive but anyways. ok but i get the new valve cover on which is an easy job but one of my plugs breaks off so i just run to the store grab some new wires then get home put the wires in and car wont start ... i have no clue as to what it could be ..any suggestions..thanks alot in advance i hop eit is jsut something stupid i am forgetting ...thanks again

HONDATUNER92

All of them under the dash and espcially uner the hood as well. Check you ground wire that goes on your valve cover too.

check to see if you have fuel pressure. if you dont have spark or fuel pressure check your main relay.

First thing I would do is check fuel pressure with a vacuum gauge. Then make sure all the wires are getting a spark. Easiest way to check but doon't tell anyone I mentioned such a dangerous way. Spary a little 50/50 water soap on the tip of the wires. Then lightly touch it. You will feel a staticy feeling. Becareful when doing this. Also check voltage on battery your battery should be 12.6 or something not started and witht he engine on should run about 14. something. Also locate your starter and with a jumper put a red on postive and then ground and see what happens. and post your feedback on if anything happens if you get a crank etc....
