I just got a dohc zc engine for my 94 civic dx. It is all installed and now it is turning over but no spark. What could it be and how do I test?

 

Check all you grounds. Thermostat, tranny, make sure you got the right distributor.

 

What are you doing to find out theres no spark? After a fresh swap, alot of things to check...make sure your checking the basics...grounds are huge

 

Also the firing order I ****ed that up when I did my D16a8 swap.

 

This was my first swap so I am kinda lost. Held a screwdriver in the plug wire. Def getting gas to the fuel rail. I did the complete engine and tranny swap came with everything. Grounds how many I thought just 2 but I am lost.

 

Was told the order was the same. And wouldnt I still get spark just out of order?

Is the CEL on?

Is there power at the dizzy?

Have you inspected the inside of the distributor?

Have you tested the coil and igniter unit?

 

Check engine light is on constant. Not sure about coil. Was thinking coil or distributor. Not sure I am not a mechanic just thought it would be a good idea to swap my engine by myself. Was kinda wrong hehe.

 

Not sure how to check all of that. Check engine light on constant.

 

Get a helms manuel then.
