Icon6 h22a, no spark. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElp!!

i have a 96 accord with and odb1 h22a swap. i have triple checked all wiring and grounds. have odb1 ecu with conversion harness. car is lx, and have installed an vtec subharness. i have tested the coil and it is within spec. i have power to the icu, but no spark, replaced the icu and still no spark. any other ideas why i'm not getting any spark? also, new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor.

is this the first time you've tried to start up your swap? are you running an internal coil or external coil?

On my car, I also went from external coil to internal coil. Because of that, I had to run a jumper wire to get signal to the coil.

I have a 92 with an H22A

On the engine harness, I ran a jumper from the thick black/yellow wire that would have gone to the external coil to the yellow wire that goes to the 2 pin connector on the distributor.

This is on an OBD I car with an OBD I engine.

On my distributor wiring, the wire on the connector that goes to the wire that I jumped is black/yellow. The jumper wire that comes from the non-used connector is also black/yellow

No luck with the jumper wire. Starting to think it might be the distributor itself..I plugged the f22's ecu to check for codes and all it read was air sensor and ect. Fixed the ait problem. Anyone know how to test the distributor itself. The coil tests good and the icm has battery voltage going to it.

I would like to think a bad distributor would throw a code. Also, anybody know what else would cause no spark.

Something simple to check. Do you have the main engine harness ground (G101) connected to the intake manifold/thermostat housing? Make sure all of your grounds are clean and have good contact surfaces.
