Unfortunately not, they are not something I have ever had a problem with on any car so didn't think twice about binning the old ones

Ok I give up, have now replaces the rotor and dizzy cap for brand new genuine Honda ones and replaced the ignition control module.......anyone got any matches?

Last night went over checking spark related stuff again with no luck....got bored of that and decided to check for fuel. I have good fuel pressure but plugs are dry. So with no spark and no fuel I am now thinking I have somehow developed a more serious problem....

As always suggestions welcome

main relay?

Stick a screwdriver on top of a injector, handle end in ur lug hole, and get some one to crank it over. See if you can hear a click when you crank it. They are pretty loud so should be a good way to see if they are firing. If they are not then it could be either a ecu fault or the resistor unit has gone up swanny!!

Sorry, you probably have, but have you earthed a plug out on the block to check for a definite no spark situation???

Seems to be clicking on and off as it should - any specific tests?

mmmmm didnt try the screwdriver in the ear check on the injectors....will give it a go, but with good fuel pressure and dry plugs I am assuming they are not firing.

thanks for the suggestions

if its clicking it sounds like its working take all the injectors out of the block still attached to the fuel rail and fire them
