I have a 97 civic ex coupe, d16y8, so it is obd2a and One morning i went to start the car and it just turned over.... the fuel pump is kicking on, and there is no spark... I changed the distributor and there still was no spark. Could this be the ecu? or what else could it be? im thinkin it is an electrical issue and was thinking it would be the main relay which controls the fuel pump, cause i thought it controlled the spark also but i wouldnt think the fuel pump would still kick on... any suggestions??? thanks guys

 

Alternator fuse maybe (7,5A), any CELs?

 

bump cause im having the same problem i need my car to start and stay on

 

swap the ecu and see if that helps, if your pump is kicking on your main relay should be ok

 

I checked all of the fuses under the hood and under the dash... so is the ecu the only other option???

 

Oh and the i cant get the car to start so i cant see if there is a CEL , i just get the normal kicking on of the CEL like any other time you try to start the civic when it ran perfect

 

check for the ecu fuse on the engine bay!!and if it dont work the is your distributor or blaster inside!!

 

all fuses and everything in the distributor is good... anything else it could be? still havent tried a new ecu but anything else?

 

are all your sensors pluged in? mainly the TPS and the IACV? mainly because the look exactly alike and will plug into each other. i just did a motor swap and if you switch the two the car runs like **** and has a hard time turning over but once you switch them the car runs perfectly fine!

 

make sure fuel is getting there. just because you hear the pump clicking doesnt mean its sending fuel. Other wise follow the electrical from spark plugs back to the key. You'll find your prob between the two.

 

This sounds like a bad Ignition Coil...

but you said you changed the entire dizzy?

My guesses were the Coil, main relay, or fuses.

Are your plugs/wires good?

 

damn you 95 yupp sounds like coil
