im having some no spark no fuel issues. im thinking its somthing to do with my grounds. I replaced the Ingitor,coil,main relay. my fuel pump primes intermittited and my check engine light is dimmer than usual. i did pull the dash and rerouted my harness. These are the ones i know of the thermostat ground,valve cover,transmission ground and of course the battery. is there one im missing on the drivers side under the dash? this is my thread on Honda-tech but i figured this site would be better for the grounding question.

There are ground wires under the dash on the drivers side kick panel.
Thank you. Is it only one I’m looking for?
although there are other possibilities, no spark no fuel is indicative of a ckp issue. try a known good distributor
Could be resistor box mine was having issues swapped thst with a new relay works fine now
Or check oil pump
Ok so i figured out my thermostat housing wasn’t completely tightened down causing a faulty ground and slight coolant leak.nice 2 birds with one stone.but in getting error code 20 no start. No spark any ideas?
20 is eld, you sure you got that code read accurately? are you getting fuel now?
Yes code 20. I erased the code and hasn’t came back.im getting fuel just no spark. And I’m getting power to the coil. Frustrating. My check engine light isn’t dim anymore. Just no spark. Tje check engine goes away when the key is in the on position.
replace the distributor
I’ll replace the distributor tonight, when i get off from work. If i replaced the coil and ignitor isn’t it basically new? :tsk:
hahaha. nope. lot more in there than just icm and coils
Good News! It was the distributor! It fired up but dies right away but… it only does 1 revoultion before dying. I thought it was just low on fuel, but i added 4 more gallons. it was a OBD0 then i converted to OBD1. I kept the OBD0 injectors and kept the resistor box. I replaced the ignition switch,main relay and distributor. i have a feeling the injectors are not working properly. is there a way to check? i see i have proper fuel psi via my FPR. i triple checked my timing and its perfect. i can post pictures tonight. i also added a new TPS sensor and the voltage isnt set yet. i serached online and that should pevent it from starting. BUT i also could not get a reading from my voltameter on the red wire. Maybe there related??? anyone have any ideas where to go from here? Thanks for all the help.
So i checked the voltage to the injectors and the TPS sensor and they checked out to have 12v(injectors) and 5v(TPS). I tried to adjuest the TPS by myself using pins at the throttle body but i couldnt get a clear reading,it was pretty akward. Today i’ll have a friend read it at the ECU while i adjuest the sensor. I did play with the distributor advancing it and retarding it and got the cough to last a little longer before stalling out. Im hoping my tps senor is way off and making the engine fall on its face before ideling. im hoping i can get the thing to idel so i can get a timming light on it.
Ok so I adjuested the tps sensor to the proper voltage,still no nothing. I kept cranking and cranking and got the cel light to come on cel 20(ELD)This being in a 90 integra my fuse box didn’t come equipped with that. I went into the s300 and disabled the ELD option. The car fired up but would only run when feathering the throttle. I noticed the fuel psi gauge bounce between 20-40psi on my aeromotive FPR. I disconneted the vacuum line to see if I smell fuel and sprayed soapy water on the FPR to check for a leak. Nothing. But I would think my problem doesn’t have to do with my ignition . I noticed my injectors humming/buzzing with the key in the on position. Is that normal? I would think next would be my fuel pump but it primes? It’s a brand new walbro 255. I would pinch the return line but it’s a braided AN.
hold on. you’re running an obd1 ecm. are you running an obd1 distributor?
Yes obd1 95 civic del sol vtec
