I have been having problems starting my 97 ex 2-dr so i figured out i wasnt getting any spark and figured it was the distributor. I ordered one of eBay , which didnt mount so i ripped out the guts and installed them in my old distrubutor. After re-installing i have tons of spark now but still not turning over. I noticed that even after like 3-4 turns trying to start the spark plugs were soaked with gas after i would clean them and pull them out again. Faulty fuel regulator?? What could i be missing here?

 

your distrubutor.
check timing.
check firing order.
try twisting dizzy one direction or the other for timing.
most likely you just slapped it on and bolted it down and tried to start it.
your dizzy (doesnt go bad) coil goes out or rotor and cap is old.

 

It ended up being the firing order on the plugs. Thanks
