I changed the plugs wires rotor cap and rotor bud along with valve cover and spark plug seals around the spark plug well...after i completed it i drove it for about 20 miles and it just died at a red light...got it back to my place and ran a spark test in it and im not getting any spark from the distributor to the plug wires..any ideas whats wrong...the car is a 00 civic si with a b16a2

 

Any CEL codes? Does the fuel pump prime?

Does the dizzy get battery voltage? If not check whether 15A fuse #9 under the dash is blown. If the dizzy has power, test the coil and have the ICM checked at an auto parts store.

 

no CEL the fuel pump primes and the fuse isnt blown that was the first thing i checked

 

Did you replace fuse 9 with a known good 15A fuse or measure voltage from both test tabs at the top of the fuse?

If the fuse is fine, test the coil and ICM inside the distributor.

 

yeh it was a good fuse...im going with the ICM on this i talked to a few other ppl as well and they all said the ICM..are they expensive to replace?

 

If the current distributor has more than 150K miles on it, then just replace the entire distributor. Nonetheless, do the proper testing before you replace anything so that you what the problem really is.

 

i have 127,000 on it..the car is being taken to a shop tomorrow for them to run the tests i dont have the capibilities to do anything like that..i can chage them otu and everything i just cant run the tests...

 

Many auto parts stores will test the ICM free of charge.

Testing the coil requires only an inexpensive multimeter to measure resistances.
