| | | got power to ecu, still no spark
I finally found time to check the civic, found a bad fuse under the dash, replaced it, got power to the ECU, but i still dont get any spark. As i said last post I put the main relay, coil, and ignitor into my acura and it ran fine. Now i took the ecu and tried it in the acura,it started fine, so i assume that it is fine. The only thing i can come up wih is the sensors in the distributor have failed. Any ideas would be great. THANKS EVERYONE

| When you turn the ignition switch to ON, does the CEL come on and then go off after 2 seconds? |

| Agree that it sounds like a problem with the sensors in the distributor. Recommend using your old igniter, coil, and rotor in a new Honda distributor housing ($125). | |

Put the honda dist back in and tried just to see...... still no fire but i did finally get two trouble codes i think i read them right hello flash.......pause 15 flashes........pause 20 flashes then repeates. I took that as code 15 & 20 cant seem to find a list of codes | |

| OK, well, don't say I never helped out. here is your code 15
15 No ignition output signal - possible faulty igniter. | |

| Code 15: Ignition Output Signal. Likely, igniter problem.
Code 20: Electrical Load Detector. | |
