this is a 2001 civic with 1.7l the car relined than the motor just slowly shut off the car turns over fine gets fuel but no spark please help thanks

 

also were is the ign coil

 

Make sure the timing belt is not stripped. Take the oil cap off and watch that the rocker arms move when cranking the engine.

If it's a distributor system the coil is inside the distributor, if it's the distributorless system there is one coil for each plug, on top of the spark plug itself.

 

ok the spark is back but when i put starter fluid in the motor nothing happens at all do you think the car may have jumped time also how do i put it back in time if it has jummped time? i know how to remove the timing belt and stuff but how do i line it all up?

 

The diagram circled in red below shows how the camshaft gear/pulley looks when positioned at TDC. See diagram in my later post for how the crankshaft pulley looks when positioned at TDC.

 

thanks a lot do you think its just out of time?

 

When you have spark and fuel but no start, the first thing to consider is a slipped timing belt.

**Note, if the 2001 Civic has an interference engine, then a slipped timing belt can also mean damaged valves and pistons.**

If the timing belt turns out to be fine, you next may want to check for low compression in the cylinders.

 

yes the timing belt looks fine no damage to belt it was also looking like it was in the right time? we are pulling the head soon but any other ideas?

 

Is the CEL ON? Any engine smoking prior to engine shut down? All fluids topped off and normal in appearance? Check cylinder compression prior to removing the head -- could save time and money in the long run.

 

To check if the belt has jumped, it is not necessary to take out the crank bolt, etc. Simply take the upper plastic timing cover off, leave the lower cover in place. You will need to loosen the valve cover and lift it up to get the timing cover off. Rotate the crank counterclockwise, the way it normally turns, to TDC (single mark on the accessory pulley). Examine the marks on the cam pulley. If the "UP" is down, turn the crank exactly one turn counterclockwise back to TDC again.
