Default Civic 95 COupe Ignition problems

Everything started with a crack in the distributor cap. After three weeks having the car halted, I changed the cap and try to start it and engine rotates but do not start. It had fuel in the piston and spark at the distributor (MSD clear cap) but the engine never started.

After 4 weeks of testing there is no spark at the distributor and Im thinking that the initial problem got bigger damaging the ECU. There are no error codes from the ECU all lights lite ok but nothing happens.

Any idea
regards

check your ignition coil....they go bad more often than you think...especially if you have an ignition amplifier installed. Try upgrading the internal coil for a external unit such as a "SS Blaster". This will definitely give your engine more spark!
