Icon5 B16a2 no spark help!

Changed my cams to ctr, did timing belt and water pump as well as tensioner.
Set my cam timing, had running for half hour and wouldn't idle, I had to feather the pedal to get it running and keep it running adjusting dizzy did nothing (advance/retard) when I shut it off I pulled the plugs and they were black and sooty. I cleaned them up returned number 1 cylinder to top dead centre it rolls, I have air and fuel but no spark. I am lost no blown fuses I need some insight, car ran like a top before this any insight would be great. This isn't my first b series build or tune up I've done lots of these but I can't figure this one out.

<p>Exactly how are you testing for spark? &nbsp;How are you planning on tuning your car for the bigger cams? &nbsp;Or do you just think it'll magically work properly? &nbsp;Hint: It won't.</p>

Dude the p30 small square ecu was optimised for my build with CRT cams 11:0.1 compression header port and polish head and full exhaust, everything was good before it should run now, I have fuel and air no spark, fuses and relays are good I'm asking for insight on it not to be called an idiot i have built dozens of motors for customers and friends with no hitch or problem don't be a troll as they call it here like f**k

<p>Oh, so you mean you failed to follow the rules and give all required, relevant information? &nbsp;And you're getting shitty with me, without answering any questions? &nbsp;So there's two strikes, but I'm in a giving mood, so I'll give you another shot. &nbsp;Maybe you should try actually answering questions posed to you, if you want us to help you.</p><p>I'll ask again. &nbsp;Exactly how are you testing for spark?</p><p>Have you tested the coil?</p><p>Have you tested the ICM?</p><p>Is the CEL on?</p><p>And finally, I will point you towards our rules sticky. &nbsp;It isn't optional reading, and they aren't guidelines, especially if you expect us to help you. &nbsp;Now pull your head out of your own ***, act right, and maybe we'll be able to help you unfuck your car.</p><p>https://honda-tech.com/honda-civic-d...sting-3002401/</p><p>Does the CEL work?</p>

It was probably just your coils time to go. Here's how to test both your coil and ICM:

At this point I'd have to go with NAR, did you test the distributor and how did you do it?

This is the type of response that will get your thread locked. Get this thread back on track by answering the tech questions rather than posting insulting and overly defensive remarks.

When I installed the dizzy it was 180deg out daughter was hanging on to it so have to assume she turned the end of the dizzy. It tried misfired twice and back fed through intake. So fast forward to last nights post and then now I've replaced the coil with known good one, my multi meter is at work so I can't test icm ATM is it possible it screwed the dizzy when it was installed 180deg out?

</p><p>You failed to answer ANY of the questions asked. &nbsp;If you aren't going to answer simple questions, you aren't going to get any help, period, end of discussion. &nbsp;The distributor is keyed to only go one way, and even if you did manage to **** up and monkey it on there the wrong way, no, that wouldn't have hurt anything other than your own massive ego. &nbsp;Don't make us ask these questions a third time.</p>
