95 civic 1.5 started the other day just fine. I had been having some idle issues so I decided I was gona clean the Iacv. I've done this before and it clears the idle but I guess it got clogged up again. So I cleaned it and put it back on . Waited about a hour and it started up but was running bad . Then it shut off now . Now I can't get it to run at all it will turn over but will no start up . Could the Iacv just go out ?

 

IACV won't cause a no start condition, just a rough idle. Any CEL's? Hit up this link for some info on no start diagnostics https://honda-tech.com/honda-civic-d...2A%2A-1992733/

 

It's not throwing any codes off and ok I'll check it out

 

During the IACV work, did you unplug the spark plug wires or mess with the ignition system?

 

Only thing I did was unbolt the 2 screws and sprayed cleaner in it . I didn't take it fully off when I cleaned it . I waited a while then just screwed it back in

 

Maybe a bolus of cleaning fluid got sucked into the cylinders, causing a loss of compression. Remove the plugs and add a teaspoon of oil to each cylinder and try again.

If that doesn't help, then move to the fundamentals - Does the fuel pump prime? Is there bright white spark at all 4

 

Gonna try that out now and yea the fuel pump primes right up and I'm Gona check the spark out now also

 

Click the Spark link in my signature.

 

Putting oil in the cylinders didn't help . Gona check the spark next

 

Also my spark plugs are black not the greyish white color I can post a photo of them if that could be a issue . And I have to get that spark tester tomorrow

 

You just need a spare spark plug.

 

so just follow the spark test with a spare plug ?

 

Yes. Did you click the Spark link?

 

Yea I did . And I'll have to check it in the am I don't have any spare plugs at the moment.

 

Anyway to test it with a spare spark plug ?

 

Yes. Dude, please read my Spark link.

 

I'm sorry I meant without a spare plug

 

Maybe with a screwdriver I just don't want to get shocked

 

No, do not test spark without a spare plug or spark tester.

 

Just check the spark it was like a orange spark not a white spark at all

 

Ohm test the coil - see FAQs sticky.

 

will try that soon as i get home

 

hey so if it turns out to be the ignition coil would it be best to change the whole distributor?

 

So just take the ignition could out of the car and use a multi meter ? I don't underdtand to do after that . Like testing the ohms

 

Ok I took the cool off of testing and I noticed the little wire looks burnt off and I didn't realize it till I got it off and don't know if that could be the problem
