Default No spark, OBD0 B16 in EF CRX

I have no spark at the plugs in my B16; it is the only thing keeping the car from running.

Tracing back, the wires are Magnecor 7.5, then the distributor is a brand-new-off-the-shelf-on-Tuesday Distributor King unit, then it is wired up to my PW3 ECU. It is an OBD0 motor in a '91 CRX.

There are no ECU codes. What can prevent the distributor from giving me spark?

The car was initially a DPFI DX; then I converted to MPFI successfully, then the ZC blew up, then I put in the B16 and added VTEC.

Are you getting spark at the dizzy? Have you opened the distributor to see if the rotor has not come loose or not present.

I would also check if you have any main relay as this gives power to the distributor as well as other various things. Also check fuse #14 under the dash, this runs dizzy power too if I recall correctly.

Main relay was new last year.

Fuses 2 and 14 are both 10A and both fine.

Swapped the two white wires in the distributor plug, no change.

dude i got a dist. from distributor king and it did the same thing to me!! no spark. i could not figure it out for the life of me. so i took it to a shop and they couldnt figure it out either so they bought a new dist. from one of their connections and it started but it was backfiring out the wazoo. so then i replaced my ecu and vua la. perfect first start no problems..

just my experience with distributor king...
