working with a D16Z6, was running great no probs till broke timing belt. Replaced also put in new valves, Timing aside i cant get the distributor to spark. Converted to uberdata, and installed a resistor box art the same time. voltage to the injectors is about 12V so im pretty sure that the resistor box install is correct. seems to be. Replaced distributor with another one, no go. I also run Uberdata. so i pluged my ECU in, still nothing get full 12+ volts as i turn engine over no spark. no spark at the plugs or even the distributor, during initial turning over of engine i got one milasec of a spark then nothing. almost as if there was a fuse that blew, I chenched everysingle fuse in the car and engine bay to see but all were good. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A SUGESTION< ive tried to my fullest extent, need some fresh brians on it.
thanks in advance caleb

Make sure the distributor is getting power and then check the coil and ignitor. Where did you get the other dist from?

Agent Daimon

replace the coil.

Make sure you have voltage at the black/yellow wire (possibly black/white, one is the on power one is start power, correct me if I'm wrong) by your dizzy.

First try the coil, then igniter,etc...

what car is this in?

why do you need an injector resistor box?

all grounds good?

redrocketgsr

grounds are good. in a 95 EX turbo with 450 DSM's needed the box because factory are SAT. and these are peak and hold. the other dist was pulled off of a working "test" car (thnks alex) as the stock ECU. any more sugestions this is killing me ..ohh btw all internal parts oof the dist are geting positive 13+ volts, and the blue wire test perfect resistance/.

HondaFanatic708

My last guess would have to be ignition coil, or even the cap and rotor. It's strange that you have proper measurements at the dist but no spark off of it. IMO it has to be in the dist somewhere... Let us know if you discover anything else that might help isolate the problem.

dist was replaced (full unit) plugs caop and dist) off of buddy's daily driver, acted teh same, its gotta be something with the spark activation unit, it seems that everything is correct but its not getting a signal to fire from the ECM, ,does anyone know if the blue wire has an inline fuse between the firewall and the ECM, checked to the firewall conector and continuity is good,

Donkey85

sounds like the ign control module, that will cause a 0 spark issue

Valve cover ground? Shot in the dark......

Donkey85

that wont cause the car to not start

Average Al

double check all grounds

throwing any codes?
ecu good?

$300lude

caused one I had not to start.

redrocketgsr

yeah grounds good. and for some reason ppl cant seem to read the distributor was replaced..(all of it including igniter and coils) the only wire that i cant seem to check is the blue one that goes to junction connection C415 the wire has continuity from distributor to the conection at the master cylinder conections. but i cant follow it anyfurther from there,. DOES anyone know how to check that wire to see if its geting a signal to fire???????

I wanna say the blue wire is the input to the tach, could be wrong though.

take out your dizzy.

check if your cam broke.

crank it once to see if the cam is rotating. yes oil will spill out, just clean it up.

redrocketgsr

yes it spins..but for a much easier aproach you can just turn the engine over without the dist. cap on,

i think the blue one is a output signal also,

HondaFanatic708

Blue is the output signal if I'm not mistaken (off the top of my head). **** man I'm not at home with my Honda Bible. I will have to check on this when I get home. I will do everything I can to get her runnin' again for ya.

Opps, I don't know why I didn't say that.

bump. still no go. anymore sugestions

HiGH PSi

check your wiring again. Make sure 100% thats not the issue. It happens all the time.

FlatTire

wow i have the exact same problem as you. do your injectors prime when you turn the key to ACC? and then when you turn the key do they squirt but nothing else happens? thats what mine does. have you tried cutting J1 and seeing if it starts? if you find out let me know, and vice versa. have you tried compression starting it?
