is my distributor bad?
1990 civic dx
just out of nowhere my car decided to just not start. it cranks and everything but it just seems it isnt getting any spark. i had this problem before but i took a msd6a and accel coil out of my crx(basically a parts car till i sell it or something) and put it in my car and it started up fine...this was 2 months ago.
now i have a new coil, new dist cap, new dist rotor installed that was meant for my crx and it still wont start. i tried checking the ignitor, i took the one out of the crx since i had the crx running last week, i put this in my car and my car still wont start.ARG...
only thing i can think of it being now is the distributor. any input HT members?

Re: is my distributor bad? (psicrxsi)
check all the wiring on the distributor, a code 15 might mean that you have a bad wire from the distributor. also, try a known working distributor if you can get one. if the swapped distributor works then yours may have problems, if it still doesnt, check the wiring from the distributor to the ecu for bad grounds or exposed wires.
