I have an '89 ZC DOHC engine in my '89 MPFI hatchback. I just put the engine in and finally got it running perfectly. I pull it in my shop to put my exhaust back on it, dropped it down, and the car wouldn't start. There is no spark...

I've replaced the ignitor, coil, plug wires, and checked all of the wires going from the distributor and the cam angle sensor, and they're all good. The computers (PM7 JDM ZC, PM6 D16A6 EF Si) are both good. I'm not throwing any codes either...

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is?? If I can't figure anything out I'll probably end up getting a black top dizzy/CAS.... Thanks!

did you weld your exhaust while the battery was still in the car

Rotor, Dizzy cap, dizzy wiring harness (check for continuity), i woudl basically check all wires for continuity from the ecu all the way up to the dizzy/sensors.

No welding; stock exhaust.

Rotor and cap are good. Wiring harness is perfect. All of the wires show very very little resistance, and are all connected all the way from the ECU to the dizzy/CAS. As someone recommended on Honda-Tech, I checked all of the ground points and they were all good too.

Anyone? Any ideas??

No idea. It really does sound like the ignitor though.
