Default possible reasons for not having spark

i just installed a turbo kit on my my and now i can't get it started and now I have no spark. i've installed a new cap, rotor, and got my ignition coil tested. The only other thing i could think could cause this would be my ignitor. Could a my main relay cause this? I can still hear the fuel pump kick on though. thanks

I had the same prob, thought it was the ignitor, since the coil tested fine, but when I replaced it there was still no spark! So, I replaced the coil and it fired right up! Moral being that the coil resistance tests are crap. Utter crap. You have to get it tested on a special machine that puts a load on it, or some-such. After I brought it to a honda master tech, he informed me of this.

sence you just installed a turbo ... maybe you didnt hook up a ground wire ??? that seems like the most common thing to happen on a install when your having problems
