Well you want to check for spark for sure... if your not getting spark theres an ICM in the distributor that went bad on my 93 Si and I had to replace the distributor. Check your ignition fuse under the hood and under the dash you may have blew one, that will cut spark. Did you possibly jump time? you may want to take a look at that... but the car was running fine previous to this red light im assuming?

ok did u make sure u grounded all yur wires? i left that valve cover ground off by . accident on my swap.. blew the crank sensor. car wouldnt start. had to get a new dizzy. if yur cam gear is exposed make sure that u didnt jump the timing. or just make sure yur rotor is spinning. check all yur fuses. u may have blew one.
