I went to start up my h22 today and nothing. it will turn over all day but thats it. I thought it was wired right. I cant see any spark coming out of the plug wires. any ideas? please help

 

Probably your coil/ignitor. Need more info.

 

what other info

 

the engine has never been started before. I swapped the H22 into my 95 civic. This was the first time i ever tried to start it. I dont have a code reader so I cant check to see if it throws any codes. How do i check to see if the coil/ignitor/distributer are gone?

 

Cranking it and seeing if any spark comes from the plug wires, also you might just have your firing order wrong. I swapped my engine in and it took me a whole day to figure out i had the plugs in the wrong order.

 

if there is no spark does it basically mean i need a new distributer?

 

No, just coil, and while your at it get a new cap and rotor.

 

did your h22 have an internal or external coil?

 

I never had an h22, I wish I did now that I know more about engines. But either way, if it was external or internal, if there's no spark it's the coil.

 

you dont happen to know if a civic internal coil will be he same as a prelude internal do you?
