I have a 2000 honda civic ex with a 92 ls motor when I try 2 start it it turns over but it dont have no spark what could it be?

vanste

check ignition coil, dizzy... also wiring that is attached to the dizzy too...

hondallday

How do I check the ignition coil?

vanste

search on forums and im sure you can find out... your gonna need to know what your doing though...

ight thanks

Grab a tester, check the harness starting from before the coil. Check for continuity and where it stops will be ur best bet thats the problem. U can also take off a spark plug wire from a plug and do the screw driver trick. As well as taking off the dizzy cap and make sure ur rotor? turns while cranking the engine.

simple. hire a mechanic/ technician to look at it.. if you cant do the simple diagnostics your gonna hurt yourself.

check the ground on the thermostat for corrosion or it may be loose.

harness starting from before the coil means what?

and have you had this motor running yet?
what ECU and wiring are you running?

plugs, wires, cap, and rotor spend 90 buck and is will start promise

take a screw driver and attach it to the end of each plug that has the spark plug attached and hold the screw driver (handle not metal part) close very close to ur block and check and see if you get a little spark and check all for plugs if there is park for all four then its not your distributor or wires its gotta be your plugs maybe they could be gaped wrong

green99civic

Do this when someone is cranking the car over for you

hondallday

na i am not even getting a spark when i do that i tried already

green99civic

you probably have a bad distributor then from the sounds of it

hondallday

i used a brand new distributer and it still didnt get spark

green99civic

how is the shape of you battery then have 12.6 volts?

Former User

It sounds like the distributor is not getting battery power through the connector. Check whether fuses 41 or 39 is blown. It's also possible that the ignition switch is faulty. Also check whether the timing belt snapped.

hondallday

the timing belt is brand new the whole motor is brand new

Former User

Use a voltmeter to check for battery voltage at the distributor connector (Blk/Yel wire) with the ignition key turned to ON(II). If there's no voltage at that pin, then check whether the fuses are blown and, if not, the ignition switch is faulty.

By the way, is the important ground wire on the thermostat housing loose or disconnected?

make sure your ecu is good. i had same problem car wouldn't start came to be some guy ripped me off of a fried ecu. put different one in it started right up.. but i had same no spark problem.

Well, better said, check the harness leaving the ECU (which to make it easier, its 1 or 2 plugs before the dizzy. check see if u have continuity from the ECU to the dizzy, and if not...then try another ecu, if there is, you've already tried checking spark with a screw driver through the cables/plugs, you have an option of getting new wires, spark plugs, and dizzy cap, if still dont get spark, then your going to have to get a whole new dizzy, thats only if problem is not within the easier mention solutions above (fuses, grounds, etc.)

mikehawk

when you say brand new dizzy .. do you mean you Bought a brand new one? or you got one from a friend or someone locally used and was told it works?

hondallday

i put a brand new ignition coil and it still gets no spark

Former User

Have you tested fuses or voltage at the distributor connector yet?

hondallday

wat settings do i put the voltometer on to check the wires

hondallday

could it posibly be why I am not getting a spark is because I used a jumper harness 2 the dizzy from the wire harness that I bought from rywire
