The rotor screw must be tight. Rotor screw falling out is the culprit of many non-running civics.

Yeah check for spark and fuel. If you are getting both of those check your timing.

Re: No codes-Engine Turns-No Catch WTF!!??

What do the coil and ignitor look like? If I found them at a jukyard Would they be small enough to fit in my pocket?=)
Yeah I'm getting spark and fuel.
Whats the best way to set proper timing?
Thanks for the help.

If you're getting spark then you don't need a new ignitor... you can move your dizzy until it runs right or get a timing light.

Re: No codes-Engine Turns-No Catch WTF!!??

Thanks for the info. I know that you can re-iron them. How do you go about doing that? Do I just iron all the points with just a little bit of metal? It's more than likely not the main relay, but I will go ahead and do that just in case.
Thanks.

Re: No codes-Engine Turns-No Catch WTF!!??

your spark plugs have oil on them? in the cylinders or around the spark plug o rings? have you figured why it has oil on them? low and uneven compression leads to many problems
