Default No Spark

I recently replaced my head gasket on a 95 Honda Civic with the stock D15B7 engine. I put everything back together. I get fuel but no spark. I already replaced my ignition control module and still no spark. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you replace the ignition coil, or is that what it's called now? If not, you might test it with a voltmeter.

Did you take off the distributer? If so, make sure you put it back on correctly.

when i didn't get any spark it was the main relay, check the main relay distributer (coil and igniter), and starter. i think you can check the coil and igniter at your local pep boys from what i have heard.

I have not replaced the ignition coil yet, but I did a continuity check and limit for the primary coil resistance should be between 0.6 to 0.8 ohms according to my handy dandy Haynes and Chilton manuals. I measured it at 1.0 ohms with my multimeter. I didn't think that .2 ohms would be a big enough deviation to be concerned with. Maybe that was my problem all along. Thanks for the info I appreciate it.

I will take my coil and igniter to pep boys and see if I can get them checked out. Thanks.

I had my coil test barely off, so I was iffy about replacing it. Since I did I never had another problem though. A little difference can really make or break the part. The sad thing is those tests can't even prove a part is good, even if the numbers are correct, but it gives a better idea if it is or not. But since it is a little off, you might try it. If it doesn't work put it back in the box and try to return it. Not sure what your auto parts store return policy is though.

I've never even seen a Pep Boys, b/c they don't exist in the Midwest here, but at Oreilly's and Autozone they told me they couldn't test Honda Ignition Coils.

You might also want to verify that, with the ignition key ON, 12V power is getting to the distributor.
