Please help, car won't start and wife is mad at me!

[keng]

Hey guys, I need your help. I have a 94 civic v-tec. The car was running just fine not problem except me o2 sensor. So I pulled the car in to replace the o2 sensor with a bosh universal one and I replace the cap and rotor. Now the car will not star. There is no spark. I put the orignal cap and rotor back on still won't start. I checked to codes,reset the computer, nothing. Thre is no check engine light either. could the o2 sensor stop the car from running? what can I do or check to see why I am not geting any spark. whould having my firing order wrong stp the car from starting. thatnks guys

some cars it is possible to install rotor 180 dergrees off ( backwards). maybe this is the case if so it wouldn't start.


also are you positive you installed the sparkplug wires on the correct terminals of the cap?

if spark is not going to the proper plug at the proper time it also will not start.

how yo doing man? I am 95% sure the wires are on the right plugs, but I do not have a example or diagram to verify, also I tried many combinations and nothig. This rotor is sloted so it will only go on one way.

She is not getting any spark at all, what can I check?

maybe you shorted something installing the o2 sensor...check the fuses.

his distributor rotor is off. Go to a friend and see where his is at and make sure yours looks exactly alike.

It soulds 189 degrees off.......

ummm did you remove the negative cable from the battery first? if not heres your sign! check the fuses under the hood with a tester, don't just look at them. also your wires might be old, take one off and just put one side in the coil and the other end place a sparkplug in crank it once and see if theres spark. on the cap it should atleast give you number one. find which plug hole is one and hand crank the engine till its tdc. as far as the wife just go mess around with her sister or best friend and she'll forget all about the car. roflmfao. (sorry not good advice, trust me i know),theres only one thing worse than a pissed off wife, thats a scorned ex-wife. anyways dude, pull the cap off and make suer the rotor is pointing to where the number one plug should be.
