    98 honda civic ex won't start
    Tx greasemonkey,OK my question last week was, I did a simple tune up, w coil ,now no spark at all on all 4 cyls, you said to check fuses, so I did with test lite, some 10s 15s 7.5s didn't lite up ,so I replaced them , but they still didn't lite up my test lite,I could not figure out how to test some of the big boxed fuses because they fit to tight on the base of connection I could not get the test prong on a terminal but I figured if most were tested, that that may not be my problem? What do you think?-cz,

    Did you turn the ignition switch to ON (Position II), before testing the fuses with your test light?

    Remember, your test light needs to come on when you test each test point on a fuse. On the block fuses, in the underhood fuse box, touch your test light to each mounting screw.

    Before discarding a fuse, remove it and clean the contacts with steel wool or abrassive cloth.

    It's important to be very thorough when testing fuses--it will save you a lot of time and money.

    . I recommend that you buy a Haynes Manual for your Civic.

    . Remove all spark plugs and rotate crankshaft counterclockwise until piston #1 is at TDC. After doing this, the rotor will point to distributor cap terminal #1. Going clockwise around the distributor cap, the sequence should be 1-3-4-2.
