Ok here's the Deal....The Motor is a D16Z6 ok the problem is the ignition coil blew so I changed it out and put an MSD Blaster...the Engine still Cranks but does not Fire Up...So We change out the Distributer...Still Cranks ..but does not Fire up!..no codes are showing on the ECU...anybody have an Idea why it won't fire up?....Tried even by passin the MSD and just using the Coil Seperatly..still the same...disrtibuter is aligned also with the same timing as the original Dist...

check the plug wires and see if you are getting spark..if not pull the dist. cap off and check all of you connections and make sure you have connection...

You might have put the dizzy back in without having it at tdc. pull the dizzy off and spin the tab. put it back in and try it. simple fix I hope other wise check the dizzy plugs and make sure there snug and plugged in. hope that helps.

just a long shot but (check the above first).... loosen your dizzy and put it about half way or slightly advanced and try starting the car from there.... you should jump the connector first too... just like as if you were going to set the timing... let the car warm up ... set the timing ... and hopefully that will work... i can't remember exactly why i did this (other than because the car wouldn't start) but it did solve the problem.... (it may have to do with me using another ecu... possibly the same reason why my idle hunts sometimes when the engine is cold... (?))

tried all that ..... didn't work...it might also be the msd coil...no spark comin from the coil wire when grounding with the screw driver..gonna get another one to check but gotta wait till the weather clears...got Really Shitty Weather here and it aint clearin up for a few days
