need help i changed my spark plugs and distibutor cap, at napa the gave me the wrong distibutor cap the gave me an external coil one i hooked it up and it wouldnt start. i then seen they gave me the wrong one. so i changed it in today for one out of a 91 accord. i read that the accord distibutor is the same as a jdm h22, the look the same so i tried it.
It still wont start up. i need the firing order someone told me it was 1-3-4-2 tried that out still nothing. they also said it could 1-3-2-4 im not sure any help please!

1-3-4-2. All honda 4 cylinders are the same. Picture works on H22 positions too.

Yes, 90-91 Accord cap will work. 92-93 will not.

1 3 4 2 is firing order. And yeah, the Accord cap is the same for the Jdm h22.

apparently its 2 options

a: the place where ur buying it from sucks and dont no the diff between parts

or

b: something is going on that shouldnt be happening

thats why i love this quote when working on cars, "if its not one thing, its a million."

go and try and get the exact one that you had, that should work instead of switching out diff ones. they should work but idk wuts going on.
