i have a civic hatch with a d16a6 motor and i tryed eveything to get spark from buying new ecu new plugs wires cap etc, im thinking that the timing might be wrong when i bought the car the guy swapped the heads and im thinking he didnt time it...is there and easy way to retime it??

 

It is not very easy but I din it once just take make sure ur timing in the crank and the timing on the head that's it also your distributor to be on the no 1 piston not too hard but tricky

 

Even if the timing is off, you should still be getting spark. Have you pulled a plug and had the motor cranked to look for spark? (helps if it's dark)

If you're sure there's no spark, and the distributor rotor turns when the engine cranks, I would lean towards the distributor itself or it's components - the ignition coil or the ignitor/ignition module. You've already tried a new ECU, only other thing that comes to mind would be the ignition itself, but chances are it would start and then stall when you let go of the key if that was the problem.

Report back

 

one of my friends is coming out and were going to go over eveything..

 

UPDATE: well we retimed it no spark, took a 1.5 distributor re wired it to the harness and put in the 1.5 ecu and car fired up, so i looks like the 1.6 distributor doesnt work. so im gonna run like that untill i get some money to find a 1.6 ecu

 

Glad you're on track to getting it up and running :goodjob:

 

i ment to say a 1.6 distributor not ecu i have one of those, just gotta save some money to buy a distributor.

 

Just to make sure, did you try just swapping the Ignitor from the working distributor to yours? A new distributor is probably a smart investment either way, and most will come with a new ignitor (a.k.a ignition module), just figured I'd throw it out there in case you didn't try it, if money is tight - I can relate

 

good point A-series, try the igniter. Also try goin to a junk yard and grabin a igniter from any honda d and b series dizzy around the same year they should all work just fine also swap the better wires and srews too. Peace
