Alright, it's a '94 EX, and for the past several days it won't start. It was running fine, then we ran a compression test, and now it won't start. It turns over fine, and has fuel, but no spark. Plugs and wires are fine, as well as all fuses. I figured it was either the coil or ignitor, so I brought it to a shop and they replaced them both. Dropped it in the car, still no spark. Any suggestions?

 

It could possibly be the distributor itself, or possibly a bad ground or something else electrical....

No DTC's?

 

That's next is to put this distributor on an otherwise working car (as well as test a known working distributor). No codes

 

A bad distributor should throw a code. Interesting.

I would check the engine ground to be the last thing... But maybe I am wrong.

 

have you tested power to the distributor/ignitor?

 

i had the same problem before on my car, but i knew i had a bad coil. i just replaced the whole distributor from ebay (cheaper than a coil almost). when i put it in and hooked up everything, it didn't want to start for a bit. i think i washed out the rings and wasn't creating compression, cause i tried to start it a lot of times. so i placed a oil and then i got compression and then it started. just get a new distributor and take it from there.

 

Alright, we replaced the entire distributor with a tested one, and still doesn't work. Which wires should I check for voltages and what should they read?
