Default im stumped... distributor.

Well i have NO SPARK, i've tried 3 different distributors, replaced the main relay, checked every last fuse (under the dash and engine bay), i tried disconnecting the alternator, NEW plugs, i've tired a different pair of spark plug wires, and also tried push starting it and STILL no spark.

Can someone please, please help me.

its a obd0 b16.

Did you just finish the b16 swap? Or did the car just stop running?

if it ran different after the swap, there was probably a loose or pinched wire. have you tried a different ecu?

I would also say try another ecu since that is the only thing you havent tried. also make sure the alt/sol fuse under the dash is not blown it should be a 10 amp fuse in the upper left hand corner between 2 15 amp fuses(at least thats were it is in my crx)

So basically i guess this is a good time to convert to obd1. So that guy is going to make me a brand new badass harness and a friend of mine has a obd1 dizzy and p72 and a jumper harness. Then BANG I should be good, if not then.... i'll probably kill myself. haha jk

Thanks for ALL the help guys!

I was going to throw in possible ground wires to engine issue as this was a problem on my friends Miata but I think you have it traced down to ECU at this point. Good luck

Yeah it's Spenser. But I think he still wants to try out the ECU and see what it is. So it's either the ECU or the wiring could have gone bad or got messed up from the rain
