    MY HONDA Won't START! Only a really experienced tech should look at this.
    Long story short, I tried to wire a MSD Box and coil on my 96 honda civic dx and I didn't wire the control module right, blew my fuse. Didn't REALIZE this until 1 to 2 hours later. I replaced it and tried to start it, all it did was turn over and back fire, but didn't catch. 3 to 4 hours pass. During this time I repeat many many many ignition test requiring me to bump the switch. After about maybe 30 repeated "bumping" test, I realize my wires were in the wrong place. I changed the wires, put a new distributor ( coil and module included) on the car and tried to start it. It just turned over and wouldn't catch. I pulled the plugs and they were burned completely on cylinder 1 and 4, they also smelled like gas. They WERE brand new plugs. So I replaced the plugs, still won't start and here I am. IN SHORT:

    I AM GETTING FIRE, AIR, AND GAS AND MY FUSES ARE GOOD. ALL MY PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH OE PARTS. BUT IT STILL Won't START!! 11

    I WOULD LOVE FOR SOMEONE TO HELP ME BRAIN STORM AND FIGURE THIS ONE OUT. I AM LEANING TOWARDS THE THEORY OF MY CYLINDER WALLS BEING GAS WASHED. RESULTING IN LITTLE TO NO COMPRESSION, BECAUSE OF THE NUMEROUS TEST BUMPS AND THE PLUGS' SMELL. THE OIL IS "WATERY", MEANING IT'S NOT VISCOUS AND REALLY STINKS.

    IM OPEN FOR SUGGESTIONS. PLEASE PLEASE HELP
