    95 CIVIC ex trouble
    I got a 95 civic ex that doesn't seem to want to start. After I got and oil change at jiffy lube.
    I just change the distributor, spark plug, spark plug wiring. Don't really know what is wrong with the car. You can hear the cranking but it doesn't seem to start and will not turns over.

    Reading sections A and B below should help you identify and fix your problem:

    . Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter. Here's how:

    . Check for codes.
    . Verify that the Check Engine Light (CEL) comes on and goes off after 2 seconds, when the ignition switch is turned to ON.
    . Perform the K-Test on the ECM, if CEL stays on.

    I check all the fuses alredy and CEL never went on it went on for 2 sec and turn off although the low oil light stayed on.
    I checked for pressure, check fuel, the timing belt, and even the relay module for the fuel pump...
    The only thing I can think of now is that I must've done something wrong with distributor or have the wrong firing order
    I also had an alarm put into my car so I don't really know what is wrong with the car
