Aiite, a friend of mine got a 93ish DX automatic hatch. It's bone stock, and in immaculate condition, but it won't start. The previous owner broke the timing belt and put a new one on, and after that it wouldn't start. They replaced the ECU on the advice from a local mechanic, but it didn't change anything. Forest got it a few days ago after all this, and changed the timing belt AGAIN to make sure it was on right, and checked the compression. It checked out fine, and I'm pretty positive there aren't any bent valves or anything.
Anyways, the damn thing won't start. It's getting fuel but no spark at all. We changed the plugs, plug wires, distributor, and ecu but it still won't spark. We even took the distributor off my hatch (which is brand new and works FINE), and still got zero spark. I even went so far as to jam a screwdriver into one of the plug wires and hold onto it with one hand and hold onto the valve cover with the other hand, hoping my bad luck would make it spark...but got nothing.
Does anyone have ANY idea? It is NOT the distributor, plug, plug wires, or ECU, so don't say 'change your distributor' or 'check your plugs'.
Help...please?
:unsure:
