I have a 97 Accord EX with an H22A swap.

The problem I've been having was somedays the car would start but others it would turn over but wouldn't start.

A couple of days ago I tried to start my car and it wouldn't start. I think it's officially crapped out because it hasn't started in 2 weeks. But I checked to see if I was getting spark and the only time I do is when you turn the key. When you try to start it there is no spark.

I changed the ignitor on the Dizzy and also tried replacing the coil but still nothing. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

replace your cap, rotor, plugs and wires. Do that, and if u still have a problem, i would check your fuel system. Good luck, wish I had a H22 in my accord!

 

Also pay attention to the weather, does it it only happen if it's really damp, humid, rainy out. Thats what happened with me, new cap, rotor and o ring seems to have solved it 90 days later. Moisture can also foul old plug wires so do a resistance check on them in damp conditions. Other than that like the poster above said check spark and fuel, as long as it cranks the starter and battery should be ok.
Make sure you post a solution when you get it figured out.

 

Any updates?check the fuel also

 

The coil isn;t firing though nor is the ecu telling the injectors. Main relay maybe?

 

Well................... there's this:

It could also cause a no start conditon...
Give your local Honda dealer a call, and ask if your car's VIN is involved - if it is, it won't cost you a thing. If not, you know what you've got to look at.
