    1998 civic ignition problem
    My daughters 1998 civic will not start. It quit on the road, and hasn’t run since!
    Turns over but no spark! Replaced distributer and ECM. -- Have heard talk of ignition problems on these cars? I really don’t have any indication of this that I recognize?
    Wonder if crank position sensor could cause this problem if bad? Reads about 2 k ohms, which seems fine for a magnetic PU?
    Would be nice to have a detailed schematic of the distributer and applicable wiring. Any ideas of where I might get these? ---- Chilton manuals very limited.
    Civic has 140 k mi. Decided to give it a miner overhaul while in my shop. Hope I can get it to spark when I’m done!
    Any help appreciated. Thanks

    Over 50% of new aftermarket distributors don't work. I only recommend genuine Honda distributor housings, where it's fine to install aftermarket ICMs and coils.
