-spark plugs have oil on them. -Plug wires look ok. -Rotor,when checked was smashed to shit and was stuck to distributor!! -Replaced cap. -Replaced rotor.Is it ok if it's a little loose?(rotation wise) -Faced rotor to #1 spark plug. -Found TDC of #1 piston. -Timing belt is brand new. -Faced crank pulley to "UP" position. -Tried to start.No backfire now,but it does kinda sputter!!?? I have tried to find the answer using the search bar but can't find a good answer HELP PLEASE.

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

Re: No codes-Engine Turns-No Catch WTF!!??
Yeah check for spark and fuel. If you are getting both of those check your timing.

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
