#259428 Completed my swap and tried cranking. I'm not getting any spark but the coil inside the distributor is good. Tried 3 differnent ignitors still no spark. Of the 3 only one checked out to be bad, but still no spark with the other two. I'm an avid mechanic but this is my very first swap. I have checked everything I can think of. Just asking for any help so I can get my car running and start building the other motor I have for it.

#260285 Double check wiring bud. Take a test light and double check the grounds. We had the same problem with my buddy's wire tucked B16 swap. Turns out his wiring was fine. We cracked open the dizzy, and the igniter had a bunch of corrosion. If you have any honda buddy's, try using their ECU.

#260297 Checked grounds and continuity. I also have 3 different ecu. Checked ignitor and it gave me a reading within range. Would have to check again for exact reading. Planning on trying my dizzy (I have two) in a friends car, Thursday b4 he is available though.

#260897 You know, we even replaced my buddy's 12v relay when we were troubleshooting his problem. It wasn't his issue, so I didn't even think about it. Nice work man, good thinking!
