89 CRX with d15 drove home and parked, no problems. Tried to start car and it turns over but has no spark. Replaced coil, same thing, replaced distributor cap and rotor, same! Could it be the car has jumped time? As I said before, no spark, fuel is good, are there any fuses to check or is it something like broken wire? No problems beforehand, this just happened out of the blue. Constructive help needed soon, I don't like my son driving my truck!

 

Where are Mr. Speaker and others like him when you really need help? Come on folks, give me some ideas as to what to check!

 

maybe the whole distributor took a crap on you try using a known working one to see also check your wires

 

That s one thing I am trying to do but I haven't come up with a distributor yet. A couple more calls and maybe I'll find one. Thanks for the reply.

 

If it isn't your distibutor or your ignition coil...Check your spark plug wires for continuity. I am not too sure if the ECU fuse could cause that or not so check the Main fuse box in case...are you throwing any codes at all from your ECU?

 

take dizzy cap off and make sure rotor did'nt fall off!

 

no, there are no codes flashing.

They are off this weekend...did you figure it out yet?

 

a friend of mines rotor fell of there is an article on here to test all of the components in the distributor search

 

It could also be your ignitor, its inside the dizzy and has 4 wires on it

 

I had a loose rotor

a previous repair (from an unskilled shop) &lt;dumbass on&gt; ME &lt;dumbass off&gt;
had to be repaired by me

they had stripped several screws , the rotor screw, and 2 of the cap screws

car died and would not crank

I got some epoxy putty and glued the rotor on so it did not wobble on the shaft

the 2 cap screws are still stripped, I plan to get another OEM dizzy off a good rex when I see one.


as always, check grounds and plugs
reseating plugs has fixed so much on this 15yr old car

 

Ignotor tested good have a new cap and rotor coil is good. I was told to check my grounds and they seem to be fine. Haven't found any blown fuses. Could the problem be in the computer, and how do I tell if the car is OBD1 or OBD0? Have not been able to locate a known working distributor and it would probably help if I knew if it was OBDO or not.

 

Its OBD0.
