I have a 1998 Honda Accord LX Vtec v4 2.3L just changed the distributor not knowing that I should of marked it and now I can't get it to start....I have an idea about the timing but not 100%...what should I do????
Re: Distributor change now it won't start...help***
Is it 180 off.all all connections correct..because its a ob2 system the timing is non adjustable at the distributor side..are the plug wires correct.1342
Re: Distributor change now it won't start...help***
Ok thank you, I got that part. Still won't turn on. I got the lines on the pulley aligned and the rotor facing towards the #1. I also tested out the ignition coil and the igniter cause there's no spark, could it be my spark plug wires?

Mechanical timing..compression..spark..don't think its your wires..they last quite a long time.use the diagram above and make sure your at. #1 on your cap

I went ahead and changed the plugs and plug wires just to be on the safe side.i followed the diagram and I think I must have the timing still wrong, what is the procedure that I just can't seem to get ???
