have just got my brothers 1993 jap civic sir and it will not start. The car was runnning six months ago fine as he had just had a engine rebuild. In the last six months it has just be stood there as he bought a new car and he decided now to give it to me.


The car had a flat battery so i connected some jumps leads to it and find out it will not start at all. I got the car towed to a garage and they have a quick check over the main thing s and they noticed they cant get a spark from the engine. I thought this might be a alarm problem so i had it removed today and it will still not start.


The garage have told me i need to get it plug into a computer to find out what is wrong with it. I have been told it could be the coil packs. I have just came accross this site and thought i would ask you lot if you had any ideas.

thanks for the help

Do you know this shop for good work or just on of the first places you dropped it off at? If you don't know anything about working on or no interest in working on your cars, finding a good reputable shop should be the first on the list. The reason i ask is because you said they said it might be the coil packs... the 93's don't have coil packs, they have a coil... only one, unless your friend did individual coil packs, witch I doubt it. I just don't want to see some1 get took for a ride because they don't know.
