Default 02 Civic EX unable to start car, cranking, no power to ignition coils

Unable to start car / not getting any ignition / coils and spark plugs not sparking / no power to EGR / no power to alternator


Drove car to the store with no problems, driving normally and started normally. Car runs excellent for 200k miles. Came back to car, dead stick/not starting. Need some assistance please?


New Battery

New Spark Plugs

New Coils

New Starter

New Belts including Timing Belt (also in TDC)

New Water Pump

New Alternator

Everything plugged in / No loose wires / grounded

Fuses good under hood and under dash


I have power in the cab and dash.

dash and cluster lights up / no warning or engine light on, nor flashing.

I have power in the fuse box.

Relays under hood and behind glove box working and clicking over normal.

I have power to the starter and cranking / belts, cam and crank are turning when trying to start.

I have fuel and compression.

Tried starting it in Park and in Neutral.


Any ideas, what the problem can be?

Anything I can check that I may have overlooked?

Check all the ground wires for poor grounding.

Yeah I already tried that, but I’m going to go try that again. I’m also going to replace the crank and cam sensors tonight. If that doesn’t fix the problem, I’m not sure what to do next?

Well, replacing the cam and crank sensors didn’t work. Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong?

Regarding thread title, did you actually check whether battery voltage reaches the coils?

Have you cranked the engine for 30 seconds to see whether any CEL codes are set?

Yeah I checked for voltage. No presence of any passed the PCM. I’m thinking I may have to take it in and them check, repair or replace it according to the repair manual. Also, no. I haven’t tried starting it for 30 seconds. The only good news is that the starter is turning and the motor is turning when I try to start it and I have power everywhere else

The Blk/Wht wire supplies battery voltage to the coils via 15A dash fuse 1, not the ECU. Check whether fuse 1 is blown using a multimeter.
