93 civic dx no start issues
i have a 93 civic dx. it was running fine and then wouldnt start for me and had it towed home. i checked for spark and had none, i also took off the dizzy cap and made sure the rotor was turning. it did, but no spark still so i replaced the entire distributor, wires, and plugs. still dont start. when i go to start it, it will turn with two normal noises, then to labored noises and the dash lights go dim. also i took the plugs out to make sure they were gapped right, and the ends of them were black and it hasnt ran. the end of the plugs also smelled like fuel. any help would be awesome.
i took off the valve cover (was replaceing gasket anyway) manually turned the engine so #1 was up, the rotor seemed off still. took off dizzy put it back on and tried starting. nothing. then said screw the book and moved my sparkplug wire all up one on the dizzy, and holy crap it starts. the pic in my book was off. shoulda went with my gut.
