Re: foor door will not start
I speak jibberish, here's the translation:
He just got a 93 Civic with a LS engine in it. When he cranks the engine, all that happens is the engine turns over with no results. It appears as if the car is not putting in fuel or igniting, but he did put the distributor in another car and saw the distributor was fine. He also checked the fuel injectors and the fuel pump and sees that they are injecting fuel. What could be causing his issue?
In my opinion though, the ditstributor checking out to be fine doesn't mean the car is getting spark. You need troubleshoot that further. When I wanted to check for spark, the old-fashioned way I did it was pull the spark plug out attached to the spark plug wires and have someone crank the engine while I held a screwdriver close to the spark plug while holding it with a rubber glove. If I saw a spark arc to the screwdriver, then i knew it was working. The color of the arc helped me determine how strong the spark was.

Wait so you're saying you're not getting spark? If that's the case, you need to start working your way piece by piece from spark plug through the ignition electrical componenent/harness and detect where there actually is a firing current.

Re: foor door will not start
is the car throwing any codes while you have the key on? If the CEL is on in the cluster than its throwing a code and this might help you figure the problem out.

Re: foor door will not start
Are you still drunk? because you still can't spell very well. But on the other hand maybe it's a spark plug wire? Maybe there is no fuel? It could be a lot of things, maybe since you don't know what you're doing take it somewhere or get someone else to do it.
