i replaced the timing belt on a sohc 00' civic a couple of days ago.... aligned the marks started the car. it ran for 30 seconds or so and then died. rotated the crank by hand once again and they were still where they were supposed to be, so i know the belt didnt skip. now the car wont start....

checked for fuel and spark. it has fuel but no spark. checked all fuses and they are fine....

cant figure out the problem and im wondering if these cars have common ignition problems and hopefully its just a coincidence...


help please!

 

Have you check to make sure that the Crank sensor didnt get damaged. That would let you have fuel pressure but no spark. Good luck.

 

you didnt mess with the distributor? try the crank sensor as well to see if you maybe tweeked it for broke it

 

i thought about the crank sensor, but if that was the case i wouldnt get injector pulse either right?

 

Where is the crank sensor? The service manual shows where the terminal side is, but not the actual sensor.

 

its behind the timing cover next to the crank just follow the wire its the only wire behind the cover

 

so i put my scanner on it from work and im getting an RPM signal... does that still mean the crank sensor is still a possibility?
