not mine thankfully, but my friend's 92 si. we were driving along normally, and all of a sudden it started to putter out, and it died. we concluded that the distributor was making no spark, so we went and bought a new one, hooked it up, still the same thing it is getting fuel, the starter is turning the motor over, but there is no spark happening-----and the distributor is brand new, and the wires and plugs are in good shape. if anyone has any ideas, post em', cuz im all tapped out on this one.

later

 

did you reconnect all the spark plug wires in the correct place? try changing the spark plugs..they're only like $10 so its worth it...the ones he has right now might be okay..but you never know. Try doing the same to the wires also...if all else fails, do a self diagnostic and find out what codes the engines throwing and go to jdmfan.com to check what's happening..good luck.

i assume you replaced the cap/rotor-check the old one for cross arc. if you got a re-built dist, take it back for another...no fouling w/ plugs?

btw: if engine light never came on than you'll get no code from a diag-no?

hondas are SO notorious for shitty distributors

 

check the ecu fuse in the engine bay

 

Put a screwdriver in the plug wire and arc it to a good ground. If it sparks, then your plugs are bad or your engine isn't grounded.
