New ignition coil
Has fuel pressure
Fuel pump primes and main relay clicks
Did the igniter unit test and have power to blk/yel wirr.
Also have battery voltage to wht/blu wire.
When I check for continuity between yel/grn wire from ecu and blu wire from tach multimeter doesn't show anything.
Possible short in both wires?

Also performed k test on map sensor connector and got 5 volts.

Any thing I could be missing?
I appreciate your help.

If there is power on black and yellow it probably needs distributor. Its cheaper than the ignitor. Now if no power on yellow and green 6-12 volts ignitor bad but one more ck. Take cap off remove yellow green wire from blade on ignitor if voltage present with wire removed than ecm is grounding. So black yellow powersignitor 6-12 volts is a product of ignitor. And all tests with key on. But ignitors r just as pricy as distributor. That's all from memory. Im a master mechanic.

Replace the igniter. Testing them is pretty much a waste of time. If the problem persists, one or more internal sensors (CKP, TDC, or CYL) are likely bad. In this case, install your new igniter and coil in a genuine Honda distributor housing--all other aftermarket housings are unreliable. Aftermarket igniters and coils are fine; however, over 50% of new aftermarket distributor housings for Hondas have not worked at AMHD. Many of the remaining housings have been unreliable and problematic.

The blade on ignitor has no voltage. Than it needs an ignitor. Like I said its cheaper to buy the whole distributor. I think an ignitor is around $250. So pop a whole unit in. And if it starts to ping when driving just turn distributor a little. You want it just before it pings so drive it hot. Turn a little till it pings under load then back it off till it goes away. It pretty full proof.

Apply silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new igniter.

Popped the new distributor in a it started! Thanks guys for your help! I opened up my old one and the wires were pretty bad. Possible one or more sensor failures too. Its working though.

Thanks again, Cody
