Default poor orange spark issue (all new)

hi, I'm having rev. issues and hard starts for a while, all four sparks are orange.

I swap 3 different distributors and two ECU's.

The coil and the ignitor are getting battery voltage.

This last dizzy comes from a running b18c5 and I put New OEM rotor, cap, NGK wires and plugs. And the same orange spark and hard start.

The car 97 EX
ls/vtec

Any tip where I can look to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance

Check your coil fuse. It's under the dash, and should be a 20a fuse. Make sure it's the right amperage, then remove it, inspect the prongs for corrosion, and resistance test between the prongs.

Check the contacts and put a new fuse.

Turn the switch to ONII, with test light check both sides of the fuse (light ON).

Voltmeter set to resistance, switch to ONII = 001

Still the same.
