Hey guys I've a 1998 civic coupe Ex SOHC d16y8 all stock my water pump started leaking antifreeze so i pulled the timing cover of the crank pulley and timing belt changed the water pump (with the negative battery cable disconnected through out the entire time) put it all back together tried cranking it i checked the wires and theres no spark at all (tested with screw driver to all cables) motor is turning but not starting i tried timing it several times with the same issue no damn spark any ideas what it is?

 

Sounds like a timing issue...
Are your timing marks and cam gears all in order/lined?

 

Yea everything is lined up to 100% the cam marks are lined up with the head and the crank is lined up with the gun sight on the timing cover to the white groove on the pulley but still no spark

 

Can you source a working distributor?
