Need some help
Hi, I have a 1997 civic cx 5 m/t recently had to do an engine swap. I put a D16y7 off a 99 civic DX. Swapped the distributor to fit the 97 engine harness. Car seems to have an issue starting it’s cranks but no start and when I connect the OBD scanner it gives me code P1298. Any idea of what I can do?

Check the coil in the distributor. There's videos on how to test on youtube
