    No spark won't start
    1999 Honda CR-V all wheel drive 2.0 liter
    I replaced the distributor cap and the ignition control module with new
    The coil is with in range of Chilton's Manual .6 ohm and 16,500 ohm
    The spark plug wires are all in the 6500 ohm range
    I have not found any blown fuses
    What else is there that would keep car from sparking
    The battery was drained by hazard lights and computer reset so ODB II came back with no codes
    Need Help Bad have no way to get kids around without this vehicle

    . Remove and fully charge the battery. Many auto parts stores will do this for free.

    . Clean battery terminals and cable connections.

    . Test all underdash and underhood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Replace the coil--bench testing coils is virtually useless. This is the most likely culprit. Here's a recent example of this:

    . Check for power to the distributor. If none, check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting:

    . Ensure that you applied a thin, even coat of silicone heat-transfer compound to the back of the new Ignition Control Module (ICM).

    Coils and ICMs should be replaced every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first. If the problem persists, replace the distributor housing (genuine Honda only) and reuse the new ICM and coil.

    I'm going to buy a coil
    I hope that it is it
    IF not what else is there that could cause it to not spark

    Does the Check Engine Light come on for 2 seconds and then go out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON?

    If replacing the coil doesn't solve the problem, replace the distributor housing (genuine Honda only) and install your new ICM and coil. That should definitely solve the problem.

    Yea I just don't have money to keep replacing things I got over $100 in it now and am not further than when the tow truck brought it home and the shops around here from experience "oh it's this " you buy they replace then get another call well that didn't work but this part will and on and on at a rate of $50 an hour until their bills are paid by you then you've let them replace everything that you would have cause they couldn't solve any better than you
    I have a Chilton's manual for Honda and an ODBII scanner plus time this week to try I appreciate your in put some times it is helpful to have a troubleshooting buddy
