Default Ignition problem No Spark please help.

just installed my b18c gsr motor in my 92 eg. Ran the car then I decided to change my spark plugs. Bought new ones, put them in, car started then died about 15 seconds after I started it. I changed the Rotor and distributor cap, still wouldnt start. Changed ignition coil then it started up for a few seconds, then died again, wouldnt start anymore. Any Idea?

I wonder if you have a clog in your fuel system or injectors. I would check there first because if it started you got some type of spark..Right?

Anyway, I am a little clueless on this, but here is something that can help you check off problems, if it is not a fuel system thing.

Try this flow chart at http://www.nutzandboltz.org

The more specific link is.

http://www.nutzandboltz.org/Se...t.pdf

You need Adobe to read this because it is a PDF file.

Ignore the information about the switches at first so you can check all your possible problems.

Good luck.

Check your plugs to see if they look fouled. Did the car ever run correctly? Did you test the ICM?

And what happens when you throw the old plugs back in? Check your ICM.
