Well I checked my coil and ICM and they were both good. But while checking this I noticed that the rotor in the distributor is not turning when I turn the key to start my car. Does anyone know if the rotor will turn with out the distributor cap on? If so does anyone know what could possibly be causing it not to turn?

Sounds like your timing belt broke. Your Civic has an interferrence engine; therefore, there may be valve, piston, and head damage.

The rotor will turn without the cap only by turning the key,shouldn't be able to turn by hand

Thanks for all your help

You're welcome.

I have a standard 92 honda civic dx 1.5 4cylinder 16 valve sodc that I would like to trick out and make a show car soon. Does anyone have a clue to what I could put under the hood to make this civic kick . THANKS
