Default I have no spark! What should I do?

Well, I repalced the normal tune up things on a car. So then I went to start her back up and she wont start. It cranks and gives fuel just no spark. So I then tested the coil, and it was shot. I also replaced the ignition module while I was at it. I wrapped everything back up and tryed starting it, and it will not start. I hold the #1 plug wire up to something metal and have someone turn the key, and I get no spark. What would be the problem? The car was running before I did the tune up.

Looks like you're in the wrong forum if you're talkin about the CRX.

Default Dont overthink it

Check distributor.....not cap and rotor ......replaced many on early 90's Accord...you should be able to get a reman from Honda.....or call and ask a Honda service writer thats experienced(been with Honda 5 plus years) if you don't believe me, most will be happy to say what the common problems are. And just stick to the basics, this link may shed some light. I just thing your overthinking it.

What do I need to check on the distributer? It moves the Rotor Around the right way. So what would I have to check?

Is an igniter the same thing as the coil or the Ignition Module?
