I have a d16a6 crx, I replaced the ignition coil, rotor, and cap and it still has no spark. Anyone know what it can be?

 

The ignitor inside the distributor might be dead. Check the bearing, and check to make sure the juice is getting to the dizzy. I've had bad plugs going from the harness to the dizzy and the spark didn't make it thru.

 

how do i check if the ignitor is good and what does it look like?

Have you tried plugs and wires? Also, check for water in the plug wells, that happens some times.

havent done tthat, ill do that next. ill check for water tomarow.

 

if there is watter in the well, use an air nozzle to blow it out. Holding a rag at the top helps to catch it and keep it from falling back in. Dont take out the spark plug until the water is gone, hydrolocking sucks, and it doesnt take much water.

 

what if the light on the ecu lights up a steady red when i put the key in the #2 position and doesnt change at all?

I read somewhere that this means that the ecu is bad, is this true?
