My H22A swapped eg hatch wont start. I went to leave for work and it started up fine and idled. I went to take off and the car just died and now it wont start. I checked over the engine bay to make sure nothing came lose or was leaking. Power comes on, there's fuel pressure it just wont turn over. I was told it may be the coil, Does anyone have any other ideas of what could be happening or what i could check? I did a spark test, and no spark. I grounded the spark plug to the block and cranked it over.

I was told it may be the coil, so I looked up a coil for a 1993 Prelude, and bought one. I'm not very knowlegable on h22 swaps and I wasnt sure if you keep the external coil when swapping the engine into an EG, so it may be useless as I didn't see the coil from there the manual pointed it out. Should have looked into the problem more. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was hoping you guys may be able to help, trying to get things fixed asap, 2 more days to get it fixed or I have to pay inspection again.

 

so was the car running with the ext coil or without?

 

sounds like the same thing that happened to my car . . . changed all the ignition parts(distributor, ignition coil, spark plugs, spark plug wires). . . and it still wont start on me. . . still havent taken my car to the shop yet . . but it may be the fuel pump or timing belt . .

 

If you dont see an external coil (right next to the VTEC solenoid) then you have an internal coil located in the distributor. Spark, fuel, compression, timing belt all those are easy to check. If you say its turning over but your getting no spark, then its ignition related.

 

Correct. I didn't see an external coil, so that means the coil is located in the distributor? When I looked up coils, I only saw external coils. Would this be an internal coil?

Timing belt was supposobly replaced about 8,000 miles ago.

 

So, I guess I will be going to autozone and trying to get an internal coil to see if that helps.

 

that first pic is an external coil.
on your cap is ther 5 holes for spark plug wires or 4?

 

Yes, the first picture is the external coil I bought.

 

u can convert ur internal to an external my swap guide is "corrupt" stupid sd card or id post it. I would recomment going to a junk yard and trying to pick up a h23 or h22 external there they are the same dizzys

 

Is my link to an internal coil, along with my cell phone pic? I figured it'd be easier just to buy one and replace it.

 

Thanks for the help everyone! It was the coil.
