Well i just replaced my spark plugs and wires and my dizzy cap, and also did a compression test in my 94 civic ex with the d16z6 motor. I doubled checked the firing order and its correct. Fuel pump is priming and it is getting fuel. The car keeps turning over and it just wont start. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

 

timing

 

the car cranked and ran fine like 10 min before i did all of this so i dont think its the timing. any other ideas?

 

Does anyone else have and suggestions that could help me? Thanks.

You didn't by any chance lose the spring that connects the coil to the distributor cap did you?

 

check for spark, could be a burnt coil

No it is still on there...anything it could be?

 

check for fire, if there is no fire then theres most likely something wring with the distributor. if you have fire then triple check your firing order.

 

Just thought i'd post this pic of the firing order, this is easily the best diagram i've ever seen for it, you just can't possibly go wrong with this one.

 

check your fuses underneth the the driver side, i had a 15 blow out and my car wouldnt start it would just crank and crank it ran for like 1 minute or 2 befor it turned off........i checked everything fuel pump, spark, ecu and finaly the thing i shoulld have done first was to check the fuses

 

okay i checked for spark and it seems the car is not getting anything so there must be something wrong with the distributor. So my buddy told me to replace the ignition coil and see if that helps. now should i do this or just go on ahead and buy a new distributor?

 

my friend had the same problem he just changed the batt. and he was good..

 

check the fuses befor you buy lol

Battery is good that one of first things we checked.. so back to problem something is wrong with the dizzy its not getting any spark so should i just replace the ignition coil or should i go ahead and buy a new replacement?

 

buy the coil first check that i dought its the whole distributer.

ps. did you check the fuses?

I know that's right, but I could almost swear that's not how mine is connected. crap, now i feel the need to go pop my hood and check.

 

Have you tried the old cap on the off chance the new one was somehow defective? Don't assume new parts are good parts, i've seen lots of stuff bad right out of the box.

 

update! replaced the ignition coil and she fired right up! thank you everyone for your help i really do appreciate it!!!

 

You must of forgot to disconnect the distributor plug when you did the compression test .

 

is that picture above how the dizzy is supossed to be bolted onto the head? because mine faces the flat part toward the front of the car

No, just go by the cap, IE compare that flat side to the flat side etc.
