ok before anything, i've searched for hours on the board and came up with nothing that applies to my problem. so i figured i'd ask specifically for help.

here is the deal. i bought a JDM h22 longblock. complete dizzy *jdm internal coil* before that i had a USDM h22 longblock that i had swapped into my prelude. i swapped it in and everything fired up fine. sparked and fueled great! ran good. i took the motor out due to buying the JDM h22. so it was about a good week that i took the US motor out. and 3 days ago i got and i finished the JDM h22 swap. BUT im having a bit of trouble with the sparking. first i used the JDM harness and plugged it onto the inside harness *which is US ofcourse*. i had two plugs on the JDM harness that had nothing to plug onto inside, so i figured it probably ran to my dizzy so it wasnt getting power/signal to send spark. so i complete removed the JDM harness and swapped my US harness back into the car and converted the internal dizzy to the external dizzy. still till today i have no spark and i dont really know what to do.

basically it doesnt spark from if i pull the insultor from the plug to the dizzy cap. fuel is there. and primes perfectly. so i went ahead to troubleshoot the problem.

here are the things i've checked and done..
-Fuses are all checked and not blown.
-ignition switch fuse not blown.
-ignition coil is new. *i have 2 working external coil*
-ECU work because i just bought a Spoon P13 which worked in my friends car.
-used a P28 just to double check.
-i rechecked ground. t-stat.engine.tranny.
-main relay is working. and used my friends main relay. still nothing.
-dizzy cap and rotor are new.
-there is no shaft play on the dizzy. Both JDM and USDM dizzy that i have.
-since i was using the JDM dizzy at first, i thought my ignitor on the JDM probably blew but i switched it with the USDM ignitor which i knew worked the week before but still nothing.
-now im on the USDM dizzy and still nothing. no spark at all.
-TDC was done.
-spark plugs and wires are new. NGK.
-timing belt is spinning the cams.
-switched my ignition switch. still nothing.


so im just about out of things to do and i really need someone's help!!

im honestly leaning towards another ignitor. i heard these tend to self destruct when they want to.

also when i turn my car to ACC (II) my check light comes on and wont go off. and when i jumped the connector to get a code on the P13, i didnt get any code.but when i jumped it with a P28 i got a CODE 15 (faulty ignitor)

my friend is coming over tomorrow to let me use his ignitor just to see if that could be the case. but any inputs right now would be really helpful!!

i just had this problem a few days ago, my fuel was prime but no juice to the starter, my problem was ground from my ignition to my starter

check your grounds, i added a ground to the starter and it started up for me.

the reason i added a ground because i jumped the starter with the cables fine, but then i took it off so i left the neg cables from the battery and grounded it to the starter.

hope this helps

 

when i first tried to start it there was nothing. now i grounded the starter and all it does is just cranks. still dont have spark. im not sure if tranny ground would cause the dizzy not to spark. cuz i grounded it to the starter and not the tranny.
