We put a spark plug on the wire for cyl 4 and it had a nice blue spark, it seems very strong and consistent. I'll try the other tests that you've given me and I'll have the timing checked.
Thanks.

You know I just saw something in another post that got me thinking. Just so I'm 100% sure which point on the distributor cap is cyl 1. It's a D15B7 motor or are they in the same spot for every motor made that year(95). I saw this picture and if my distributor is the same I think I started at the wrong terminal :rolleyes:
P.S. You might as well give me the firing order as well in case I screwed that up too.

The diagram of the distributor cap is correct for your Civic. Cylinder 4 is closest to the distributor, and the cylinder order is 4-3-2-1, with cylinder 1 farthest from the distributor.

The firing order is 1-3-4-2, as the distributor rotates clockwise looking at it from the cap end.

If you think about it, switching the wires around is going to have to create at least two dead cylinders. Generally the engine won't run. It can run on two cylinders but it will be very hard to start.

mk I would think that too but at this point... I just don't know anymore. Bear with me, if I'm looking at this right, when the distributor is in the car the #4 terminal is on the bottom? I think mine might be in #3's spot, I'm definitely going to have to take a look at it.

I'll let you know in a bit.

The wire to cylinder 1 should be at about 10 o'clock with the distributor on the car. Then go 1-3-4-2 around clockwise.

:rolleyes: Nevermind I'm a s#$%head, wishful thinking.

OK so I've run into a bit of a snafu. It's a little warmer today so I thought I would try to pull any engine codes, well I can't find the jumper plug. I pulled the carpet back and looked all around the ECU for the jumper plug and there doesn't appear to be one. Could it be located somewhere else? I see a harness and the wires going to my blower motor and that's it. I felt all around as far as my fingers would reach and nothing. WTF :confused: Has anyone found theirs in a different spot?

Click the CEL link in my signature and scroll down the page. You'll see that you need to remove the passenger-side kick panel. The service connector branches from the main wire harness just above the ECU. Use a paperclip or a small piece of wire to jump the connector.

The ECU is completely visible (someone already pulled back the carpet to access it) and I can see the harness that is plugged into it. I followed the harness up as far as my fingers could reach and didn't find any connectors branching off of it. I tried to snap a couple of pics with my cell but they were no good. I've looked a far as I could see without an adequate light (cells don't make good flashlights either) but I couldn't see the connector. Is it plugged into anything(I didn't think it was supposed to be)? I may have to remove my glove box to get a better look.

P.S. Your links rule, I figure that main relay repair will probably come in handy at some point.
