My 1995 Honda civic 1.5L recently wouldn't start an hour after a common commute?
The fuel and air are not the problem. I'm not getting a spark. The engine cranks but will not start. I have already replaced the ignition control module and have tested the ignition coil. I don't believe it is anything to do with timing because it has no problems with skipping and such. Without replacing the entire distributer what else could be the problem?
Do some reading on these link will help to pinpoint the exact cause:

and this video will help:
If all tests checked out good. The only thing left will be the PCM. Hope you won't have to get to this part. HTH
I'm also curious to know, could it be my pick up?
If you are checking for spark at the spark plug, try checking at the coil wire, it could be a shorted dist. Rotor.
The ICM is usually the problem, did you install a new one, and did you apply the dielectric compound to it that helps keep it cool?
If the above checks OK, all that is left is the distributor.
- 1995 Honda Magna vs 1995 Honda VFR 750? Which is better at -top speed -acceleration -do you think the top two matter? -driving pleaser (if you know) -sound (if you know) -reliability I'm looking to get one of these two but I'm not sure which one. I feel like I love these two motorcycles equally so do I get the cheaper one that I can find?
- Is the buy back of a recently purchased vehicle a common occurrence? I purchased a new Honda CRV a few months ago and have been unexpectedly laid off from my job. Do dealerships see this scenario often?
- Will my 2000 honda civic dx be reliable for a 8 hour car ride? I'm planning to go to vegas with my wife. I live in the bay area and want to take it to vegas. Approx. It is 8-9 hout car ride. The car is a 2000 civic dx with 54k miles. Car does not leak, timing belt has been changed, most fluids are pretty new. Tires and break is good as well. Will the car take me there without it breaking down?
- Tried to test drive a 2005 honda civic, wouldn't reverse, what's the problem? I went to test drive a 2005 Honda Civic EX coupe and when i put the stick to R, it wouldn't move. It turns out something on transmission needs to be fixed and it will cost 800-1000 dollars. The total cost would be 6000. Is it a good idea to buy? Has a clean title but needs repair, dealer isn't willing to fix it unless i put down money. has 133,000 miles on it
