Hey Guys
I currently own a eg civic with the D16A motor in it, its my daily.
The other day on the way to work the car suddenly wouldnt accelerate, revs started to drop and pushing down accelerator would do nothing. Pulled over and turned car off. Went to start it up again and would crank but not fire.
Inspecting the car showed it to have no spark. Distributor was rooted. Switched distributor over and there is now spark but still wont fire. Have checked fuel pump, sparkies, leads, injectors, ecu diagnostics and all have proved to be in working order with no faults.
When replaced distributor have no 1 cylinder at tdc, rotor button pointing toward cylinder 1 and coupling aligned with index mark on housing, then just slid it in. Want to set timing with timing light but car wont start.
What can be done now? Sorry for the essay, any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
