I used the same plugs on another civic and they spark when you pull them out and crank the motor over while the spark plug touches the valve cover.

I am trying to start a 94 integra ls and it just cranks over w/o even coming close to starting. I need to know what are some possibilities why there wouldnt be any power going to the plugs?
All fuses are good.

Another idea is this car was in a rear end accident which deployed the air bags. Could there be some sort of shut off switch for the motor? I tried to look for anything obvious but no luck.

thank you!

 

Well if your not getting any spark I would start looking at your ignition. I would check things like your coil, ignition module, cap rotor. Good luck
And I don't think that a air bag going off will stop the car from running, as far as I know

 

actually yes, deploying the airbag for a lot of the newer cars (96 and up) shuts down the entire electrical system. It's a safeguard, since a lot of crashes big enough to trigger the air bags cause potential fire hazards.

But yes, check the ignition system. Maybe you could try putting the distributor cap/rotor/wires onto the other car. If it starts, you know it's not that. Then test the ignition coil. Chances are, the problem's gonna be somewhere in those parts.

 

Well hey I learn something new everyday. I never knew that the air bag could shut down the electrical system.

 

It's part of the inertial safety stuff that you need to re-set normally, sometimes not, but I have seen some cases where cars have inertial switches to shut off the fuel pump more than anything, to prevent fuel from being pumped everywhere after an accident.
