Ok i have a huge problem my 1994 honda civic will not start and there is no spark coming from the spark plugs. There are no blown fuses and the starter is working the engine just wont fire up. The engine is just totally not responding at all. I dont know what is wrong help.

something to do with your ignition system.. I bet a million its your distributor!!! don't get parts replaced.. I've heard from a lot of people that its best off to either get a rebuilt one or a new one because you replace a coil for example there will be more resistance in the new part than the old parts.... soo in time the distributor would go again.. I bet anything that's your problem... either that or your spark plugs, or no fuel...

Hmm, 94,,how many miles? timing belt ever been changed? does it seem to spin faster than normal?

i agree. i had a similar problem w/ my 90 accord, and i wasn't getting any response at all. i thought it was my fuel pump, but it turned out that my distributor was shot. if that is the problem i dont know how much it would be for a civic, but plan to spend about 450.

yup sounds like a distributor to me... try the junkyards too...... or you can do it 1 piece at a time and try either the igniter and or the coil...
