how are you testing for spark ? HAve you cheked the Coil and Ignitor them selves. also check all the wireing in the plug and trace it bck to the Main harness and further to the ECM. Check for Stored DTC's in the ECM see if there is any error codes there. When did this start and what were you doing ? also i believe there is a fuse on the preludes for the ognition system.

i had it in a 92 that i totalled, well i had an extra 93 shell that i dropped it into. everything is hooked up, and i have checked the ignition fuses and everything is good. i havent ran the vtec wires yet, could that be why its not firing?

no, hondas will run without VTEC, itll just throw a CEL.

is this all in a prelude? or is it in an EG?

check the wiring at the dizzy plug. and if its not a prelude harness, check the wiring at the ECU.

it all depends on which OBDs for the harness, dizzy, and ECU...

its in a prelude.. the motor is OBD 1 and the wiring harness is OBD 1 too, but the wiring harness is for an h23, could that possibly be the cause of my problem, i have the p13 ecu plugged up, but it still wont fire, i really dont have any time to fuck with it, im constantly busy, should i just take it to the shop and let them fix it?

i dont know H-series, but i would imagine the differences between the H22 and H23 are minimal at best (VTEC and oil press sender?). so assuming the dizzy is OBD1 (which it will HAVE to be, to work with that harness) id start checking coils and igniters and whatnot...

what about shaft play, condition of rotor, cap, wires, plug gap, etc?

I believe the H23 and H22 harness is different especially the ignition system. try getting a H22 harness. You should have been able to keep themain harness on the engine and plug it into the sockets in the 93. But harness is different.

i dont know what the fuck to do with this thing, maybe it isnt the distributor, because i tried my friends dizzy who does work, and im still not getting any spark, im about to write this fucking thing off, but i need to get it running asap, i mean im not really sure about what else to do, anyone know a good shop that i can take it too that isnt too expensive and i can get this shit fixed quick?
