I have been working on fixing up this civic I bought, it ran and drove for weeks before I started working on it. The only new parts I installed were all suspension related, as well as a new battery. Now the car will turn over, crank for days, but won’t start. Fuel pump is engaging, battery’s got juice, fuses seem to be fine, relay looks brand new. Gonna see if it’s the rotor in the distributor but I’m not sure. Haven’t pulled spark plugs but like I said it ran before so I assume it’s got spark and gas

 

any codes showing on the ECU?

 

No codes, no check engine, anything.

 

I’ve had a lot of coil packs for bad on me. Had to change them almost immediately on every Honda I’ve had. Worth testing for

 

So I tested the spark wires and plugs, they’re all good. It’s carbureted so no coil packs, distributor cap is brand new and brand new lead wires to spark plugs and in-line

 

If it’s a 1990 civic you have a coil pack inside the dizzy along with the igniter, tdc sensor and crank position sensor

 

Should be 5 wires in a six gang plug for your dizzy.

 

I’m getting connection from the spark plug wires and coil, I’m about to try the spark plugs even though they look ok

 

right, I thought you meant coil packs on every spark plug lol. The distributor looks brand new, and I’m getting power from coil and lead wires

 

You can have spark to the wires and still have a bad coil pack. Definitely worth trying.

 

I had a very similar issue of everything sounding great and it cranking strong. Went through my fuel system and replaced everything before the coil pack just to have the coil pack be my issue. 😭

 

was yours getting spark and power from the dizzy? Just checked spark plugs and plug lines, mines all getting strong connection and spark.

 

would I need a new dizzy? Or can I replace the coil pack inside?

 

Of course they don’t have the ignition coil in stock anywhere, gonna order it and get it tomorrow, see what happens

 

Im rooting for ya brotha! 🤘🏻

 

Put the new coil in the dizzy, didn’t even have to touch the rotor because the coil was top mounted, but now it won’t even crank. No click no nothing. Powers accessories tho. Thinking the battery gave out after a week of trying to crank it with no luck, gonna see if it just needs a charge. Tried jumping it yesterday to see what would happen so I don’t see why it would’ve lost the charge but we will see

 

Super weird. Update when the battery has chooch

 

They said the battery was completely dead lol, got a new one, new coil installed and still won’t start. Turning over for days still though

 

I could only test spark plug 1 before my plug puller randomly **** out but it was getting power and spark so maybe it’s just another spark plug? Has a cold air intake that’s all fucked up from when I bought it idk if that will affect it overtime either

 

New fuel filter has very slight leak, going to reinstall but I don’t see why that would cause it not to start

 

Video of how it’s cranking, zoomed into fuel filter to see if it was leaking.

 

Vid

 

have you figured it out yet? Mines dam near the same thing as your but I have a b20. Mines just died while driving on the highway and now it just cranks no start. Changed and tried known working dizzy,ecu,ignition switch,ground,battery. Main relay clicking twice.

 

i actually just put mine in the shop I gave up lol. I’ll let you know what they say Monday

 

did you find out what was the issue, im having similar issues.
