    MY 95 Honda civic will not start
    It turns over fine.I have checked the codes and there are no codes showing up.I have checked the spark plug wires and plugs I am getting spark through all wires and plugs.I am getting fuel to the cylinder just fine also.The check engine light comes on when the key switch is turned on and when the fuel pump stops the light goes out as it is supposed to.

    I just replaced the timing belt because it broke.I am going to check the compression on each cylinder to see if it possibly bent a vavle.

    Minimum acceptable cylinder compression is usually 135 psi; standard compression is 184 psi. Maximum variation between cylinders is 28 psi.
