Ok so I got a 95 Civic LX non VTech about 2 weeks ago. It ran and then 2 blocks away it died. Dude said it was the distributor connection and I zip tied it. Well it worked for like 20 mins then died yet again. Then got a new Main Power Relay. Took a couple trys but got it running then died yet again. I was at a stand still. Looked on YouTube and found a vid to test my distributor, coil pack and connection to distributor and on the vid he had me check the signal wire(yellow_green wire) from the distributor to ecm to see if there is communication. (He had a test light and probed it to see if the light flashes)but there is no light at all. I have proper spark, great fuel pressure, and replaced the BS relay. I'm so lost and the only thing I could figure is that my ecm is out but I don't know Honda's enough to make that claim.
All the help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Sounds like it might be a distributor issue or more specifically an igniter or coil issue. Did both of those partspast the test: http://easyautodiagnostics.com/honda...system-tests-1

May also be a break in the wiring harness.The following may (or may not) be related Check the harness behind/underneath intake manifold for fraying: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...owing-2106909/

You could pull and ECU from a junkyard and swap it and if doesn't work the return it (make sure it has at least a 30 day warranty).

Go back to whatever the seller zip tied and see why it needed tied together? What connectors are inside that aren't making a solid connection or have corroded or burned out?

This was the video I watched:

I went to the first site you suggested and did around the same thing but now I have to go retry the signal connection wire cause I had the wrong kind of test light. But all the connections on this entire car are perfection and believe me it's very surprised but no burns, loose connections or corrosion.

Ok so I bought a whole new distributor on eBay $54 and I'll have it Monday-tuesday. But this is the hell raiser part...... A buddy came over and adjusted my distributor timing (didn't know you could do) and boom ran like a dream for an hour or more let sit for a couple. So proud of the accomplishment I went to start it again just to test my luck and nothing..... Well today I pulled the timing all the way forward on the dissy and Bam started again and running perfect started it 20 times in a row and still working. Idk what to think anymore. Do you think it could still be the distributor?
