make sure all the fuses are good and make sure your ecu is in working order. if all those things are good, you should check your coil and replace that. good chance it is your coil that is bad. good luck

yeah, thats possible, but i doubt it if its only one tooth, especially since you have such good compression numbers. my guess is that it is the ignition timing, i had the same problem with my car and the ignition is waht it was, just try adjusting the distributor. hope it helps

nah, i dont think thats it, they have hondas making alot more power than you with stock ignition systems. make sure that the cam timing is set a 0,0 and then try moving the distributor, the slightest turns on the distributor can make a bigger difference than you think.

Default An engine needs three things to start........fuel, sp

An engine needs three things to start........fuel, spark and compression. If you got those three and it doesn't start you can always check your ground wires. The groud wire that is connected to the transmission and the head.,
