Default 1991 honda civic wont start/no spark and lots of new parts.

I have a 1991 honda civic lx and I have replaced the starter, ecu, distributor, wires and spark pulgs. I can get the car to turn over but will not start. I am not getting any spark at all but I have power to the distributor. I have checked for voltage and I am getting it and the distributer will turn. I am so lost can anyone please help me?

welcome to the forum. If the distributor is rebuilt, the coil has been known to fail. I take it that the timing is set proper on the cam gear, and you did start with #1 top dead center. ( not bottom ) no spark from the distributor is normally coil.

Default Thanks

The distributor is not a rebuilt one! It is brand new I made sure because of problems that I have with rebuilt ones before. I did not set the timing right. I was told that the car would still spark with out the timing being right! I did not want to waist the time with timing it if I could not get a spark at all. Any other ideas? Thanks for you help...
