Hi all, I'm new here. I'm from Bulgaria and here in our Honda community / forum I can not find a solution to my problem. Engine is d16y7 on six gen. us coupe 1996 year. The problem is that a few days started very hard in the morning.In the night temperature reaches -20 but it is always started. Two days ago, the engine totally dead. The car has a fuel pump working, spark of all four candles,compression 10 on all cylinders,main relay - checked (working),starter - (working),bobbin. Now I do not know what to do. Spinning in my head things that can be a sensor under the distributor for automatic choke,commuter on distributor. I wait for your help! Thanks. Greeting Giorgio from Bulgaria

 

Any Check Engine Light??

Does it try to start?? Like...turn over at all?

 

No CEL errors,ABS lamp blink 5 long and 4 short times...but this has nothing to do with the ignition. Abs was working good...

 

Does the fuel pump prime?

 

Yep,it's work

 

what does the car do??? like does it make a clicking noise when u open the switch ignition switch???? have u check the battery if it has full charge also the alternator if not take them to a shop to be tested for full charge...

 

If he can test spark it obviously is cranking over. What color is the spark?

 

As mentioned, check for CEL codes and bright white spark.

Does the engine start with starting fluid?

Have you checked the mechanical timing?

10 PSI?

 

The battery is the first thing I checked.There everything is ОК.
The spark color is yellow...Can any of the sensors that tell the ECU to launch the automatic choke simply does not work...
No CEL errors...timing belt is checked, not jumped teeth.

 

Yellow spark = weak spark

The coil is most likely blown. Resistance test it -- see FAQs sticky.

 

for a coil.....yesterday checked resistance and it was the norm. \

I think for red sensor can work bad...

 

Weak spark cannot ignite the fuel. You have weak spark. Focus there rather than on anything else.

1) Some bad coils falsely test fine by resistance.

2) Also test the ICM.

3) Measure voltage at the Blk/Yel wire attached to the coil and ICM with the key in ON(II).

 

I've measured the voltage at the (+) of the coil using the battery (-) for ground and it show 12.4 V with the key on II position, and 0 V with the key on I position. Between the (+) and (-) on the coil shows 0 V. I'm getting 12.4 only if I use for ground the negative terminal of the battery or engine ground points.

 

Today after the change of ignition coil with new and icm(hitachi E-12 302) did not start. My original icm is number is (Е-12-303)...the difference is only in the metal plate which attached.. I do not know what to look for, I'm so confused now ...

 

What color is the spark now?

 

Now I have not seen...any ideas?

 

Ideas? Check for the color of the spark. Are the injectors spraying?

 

Now I checked and made ​​blue spark....

 

Spark should be bright white. There a problem somewhere in the distributor.

 

looking for a distributor to make a test, but here are hard to find...

 

d15z6 distributor will fit on my engine or not...

 

The car started afted tightening timing belt and disconnecting all components from distributor everything fell into place. Thanks to all Regards...
