How yah fellas doing ? I just need some help getting my 93 civic dx back on the road. I haven't drive the car for at least 3yrs now. Anyway, I start with replaced my old fuel pump, fuel filter & clean out the entire fuel tank by did the following (drained all fuel, unbolt and wash the inside of the tank and put it back on).
The fuel is fine and it does delivering fuel to the fuel filter. I knew this by losing the bolt from the fuel filter to the fuel rail... fuel spraying when I turn the key to "ON" position. The problem I have right now is spark. I remember a week ago I tried to used the screw driver stick in the spark plug wire and set it close to ground and has a weak spark (only at that one time). Now, I tried it again I don't see anything happen. I even used one of my spare spark plug, I connectted to the spark plug wire and ground the part of the plug to the frame, cranked but still no spark. I opened the distrubitor cap and checked, I realize that there isn't any screw that hold that spinning thingy to the motor... isn't that causing the problem not having any spark ? The civic currently has 122k on it. Should I change the coil, igniter, or what ? Thanks.
