HELP - won't start, spark on 1 plug
 
Looking for advice on '91 Integra 1.8L. Engine died and will not start. Have spark on plug closest to the distributor and the other 3 are dead. Any suggestions?

change the spark plugs, and if that doesnt work change the spark plug wires.

Instead of just going out and buying new plugs you should check the plug wires for continuity and see if they're shot. If the wires check out alright then pull the plugs and see if any of them are fouled. If not, then you've got some kind of issue in your distributor which unfortunately is a pretty common failure point in these cars.

i had the same problem.......
we lowered my car and when it waz done i went to start it and it wouldnt start!!!

we automatically thought it had to do with the distributor...so my buddy works for honda and he changed on my coil and did the whole thing for me fer a 100 bux!!

i believe its like $220 with a $90 coil charge in autozone..pretty pricey..

but i read up and it says 52% of these cars the distributor goes out

i suggest whut tha mistar up above says
good luck:thumbup:

I would get a volt meter and start with the wires and work yourself back to the distributer. Wires, coil, and ignitor. You will have to find out from someone else on what the readings should be.
