Well guys, I guess I will be more of a regular here than I expected...

89' CRX, SOHC ZC swap, Manual Transmission.

Recently I had a problem with my car dying while driving, and not starting back up for about five minutes. People on these forums gave me a few ideas, which I am thankful for, and with them I got the problem fixed.

So I drove today to pay off some bills, and when I came back out to my car, it would NOT start. I waited and waited with no results. It keeps turning the engine, but it will not start. After doing some diagnosing, we found out that I am NOT getting any spark. I have changed all of the following parts within the last week:

Distributor Cap
Distributor Rotor
Spark Plugs
Fuel Filter
Ignition Coil
Radiator Hose
And we had the ignition module tested, which they said it was fine.

You may be asking why the radiator hose matters, but while inspecting the engine, I saw that there was a leak coming from the hose, shooting fluid towards the distributor cap. I don't know if this is relevant, but we fixed the hose and cleaned and inspected the cap.

Once again, I am getting no spark. I am completely stumped, and as usual, any help will be appreciated.

 

do you have a multimeter? if so, check if you are getting power to the distributor.

 

Yes, we do have a multimeter, and my dad said we were getting power to the coil, but I'm not sure if we were getting power to the distributor itself. It is still pretty cold out here in Kansas, on top of it being dark. I will give it another shot tomorrow. In the mean time, I will ask him what exactly he checked for power.

 

the only thing left to check is the ignitor inside the distributor.

 

Is that a single part? Or would I need to get a whole distributor?

 

its a single part.
i could be the ignitor or the coil.

 

Is the ignitor the same as the ignitor module? If that is the case then I had the current one tested, which they said it was still good. I also changed out the coil.

 

im pretty sure its the igntion coil http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...Q5fAccessories

 

Well in that case, yes, I have changed the ignition coil.

 

Just replaced the main relay and it started right up. The old one was corroded pretty bad, and basically just nasty over all
