Hello, my 1986 honda civic died one night and wouldnt re start. I changed the plugs cap and rotor but didnt think to remember the wire order. I have since tried every order I can think and no luck. All the plugs have spark, tested the fuel pump to carb and that works fine. I dont really know what else to try or why it wont start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I got a 97 civict dx, i put a new dist in and new plugs but wont start. got fuel and spark
The cap should be marked for number 1. The distributor turns clockwise. The firing order is 1-3-4-2.
You need to match the numbers on the cap to the cylinders they go to. There are paths in the cap that direct the spark in the right order. You said all the wires have spark so the timing belt isn't broke right?
Well then it is likely O.K. But just check to see if the distributor is turning when you crank it, If the distributor is turning the belt is o.k.

Thanks, evry wiring diagram ive seen for my year car has a distributor cap which the wires run out the side, my cap on my car however has wires that come out the top. They are numbered. Do I match the numbers on the cap to the wiring order above?
I relly dont think so, I had it replaced in october.
