Well this is getting expensive so need some other opinions.

No start on my 1995 Honda Civic.

Did check a few things recently and replaced a few also.
All fuses check OK.
Has no spark... Timing belt is in time and the valve all move as well as the rotor.

Had seen in prior posts ignitor and coil problems.
So changed everything with a new distributor. Comes complete even cap with a new rotor.

Still no spark.

Battery is great and fairly new.

Any thoughts, ideas, tries, etc?

On a 1993 they talk about a ECM reset? Do I have one?
Key tests with the 2 second delay seems good.

Will do... Ran out of daylight but will tackle more tomorrow. I've quick read this and most of it I already done but with a clear head and a guide should be able to figure more out.

Thanks so far, Jim

Be sure to answer the 3 basic diagnostic questions. Test all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter. Disconnecting the negative battery cable for 10 seconds will reset the ECM, as will removing the 7.5 A Backup Fuse in the under-hood fuse box for 10 seconds.

Spent about 3 hours reading all the posts dealing with no-start Honda's. Learned a lot just reading! Haven't tackled my problem yet but feel more confident now that I was doing the right things just haven't found "THE" thing.

Also, Found out in the aftermarket lines they made a bazzion different ones. Txgreasemonkeye has a point using genuine Honda parts. Distributor assembly's are marked somewhere. Took me sometime lightly scraping aluminum dust away but it was there.

Good info on a BOSCH 02 sensors. Trying to convince my boss that need a factory one because of a different connector was a real chore. I was working on a JEEP at the time and didn't feel like swapping 4 wires just to save a few bucks.
Long term it lasted about a year.

Just a note... Finally figured it out. The "K test" worked. I had a terrible corroded terminal on the MAP wire. This might be cause of hard starting way before this major melt down happened.
