so here goes. i have a 92 civic ex-v, d16z6 standard. all stock.
i posted a few weeks ago about doin a head gasket job;
so i got as far as the exhaust manifold comin off, got 3 bolts off the intake mani took off the dizzy and right after that i realized that i hadnt taken the ground off my battery, super dumb i know and im paying for it now. and i also snapped the wire off my coolant temp sensor. so stripped it down a lil and i wrapped that back on the piece it was plugged onto.
so i got this far and a mechanic buddy of mine told me i was safer just to put it back together cause it didnt look like the head gasket was the issue.
so i put it back together all good to go. went to start it up and it started up idling really rough and would do so up until i revved to about 3500-4000 rom then it would level off and be fine.
so i just couldnt figure out what the deal was, my dad had his mechanic from work come look at it and he tested everything and there was power everywhere then he tried moving the dizzy, changing the throttle and such and it just straight up died, it'll turn over but no spark.
ive tried putting another dizzy on it, i bout a new ignition module and upper coil for the old one, put that in and still nothing. today i just picked up a new ecu and no change.
also theres no power comin to or out of the top connector on the dizzy itself.
i also did just test the ecu it gave me a code 6, being the coolant temp sensor i just tried to connect it better but still got the code, maybe i need to pick up that lil connector piece somewhere.
basically im just curious if anyone has any answers for me. got no spark, she turns fine, the timing is bang on. im at the point of gettin it towed to the honda dealership.
any insight would be much appreciated thanks so much.
