Default urgent help need

sup to all
heres the situation, i did a maintenance for my 98 civic ex (d16y8) like oil change and tune up
so i did change the distributor cap and rotor plug wires and spark plug, after all that i did i start the engine and it start for a while and it when off -, so did try it again it just crank and wont start any more.
u might say i didnt put the plug wires in the right place but im pretty sure i did coz i mark each wires and draw a diagram before i unplug it.

i did try to trouble shoot it like crank and check if theres a spark and the result zero spark.
so can anybody tell me whats wrong and what should i do

thx to all

alright...

1. go back to school and learn some ****ing grammard you ****ing tool.
2. did you screw the rotor back on tight? pull your rotor cap off and check to make sure the screw didn't fall out and tear everything up. i've seen it happen before.
3. the plug gap wont effect whether or not an engine will start or not.
4. for your engine to start and then die? like... it was running and then it shut off? did it make any weird noises when it cut off? did the idle just slowly die?
5. your grammar and sentence structure sucks dick.
6. ???????
7. PROFIT!!!

Check your grounds and then have a parts store test your coil and ICM. How did you determine that there was no spark?

Grammard? What the hell is a grammard? You know, if you download Mozilla Firefox, it has a built in spell check. In case you want to flame someone, and you don't make mistakes yourself. ****tard.

well i pull one plug wire that goes to the sparkplug and ground it plus crank the engine and from there u should see a spark it also depends color of it

my question now is i there any other way u could just buy the icm from parts store coz i saw a threads how to test ur distributor w/ a meter seems like icm needs to replace also is there anything that i need to to do to make sure im in a right track




thx for all the comments

also it is possible to pull the distributor and have it tested in autoparts store just to double check it?

3. The plug gap wont effect whether or not an engine will start or not. You can cut out the "or not." Just a memo from the Department of Redundancy Department.
4. For your engine to start and then die? That is a sentence fragment. You should consider revising it.like... That is also a sentence fragment. It was running and then it shut off? That wasn't a question for you to use a question mark. Did it make any weird noises when it cut off? Did the idle just slowly die?
5. Your grammar and sentence structure sucks dick.
6. ??????? Unless you're speaking in Spanish, you don't start a question with a question mark.
7. PROFIT!!! Another sentence fragment.
I didn't know our grammard was supposed to be spot on for a forum post. Next time you want to burn someone, spell check your own ****. I fixed your posting in red.

It is annoying to read phonetically "cool" jive sounding conversations, which display stupidity instead of an efficient form of communication. There is a reason millions of people decided on English over the past centuries. It works. You are not "cool" enough to change it so please stop trying.

Understand that statistically, the people that know the answer to your question, probably have some form of intelligence... I would have spent more time offering a solution to your problem if I wasn't so appalled by your form of communication.

Check your fuses.
