Hello, I hit a dip in my civic the other day. My airbags deployed and oil pan cracked. I replaced my oil pan, BUT now it wont start. I believe I dont have a spark, any ideas? I hooked up my scanner and it just said, communicating with computer and nothing happend. NEED HELP, thank you very much for your time.

Not sure if this will be any help, but if you engine is trying to turn over but won't start, obviously check starter, but also check that your distributor is still connected properly. Buddy hit a gnarly ditch in the desert and had this problem.. Just shooting in the dark here, so don't shoot me if I'm useless. Hope you figure it out..

easiest way to see if your getting spark is take a screw driver and take a spark plug wire... stick the screw driver in the spark plug wire and hold it close to metal and have somebody turn the car over.... if you dont get a spark then its probably in your distributer... if you get a orange or yellow spark then its in your distributer as well.. spark needs to be blue... the darker the color the hotter the spark.. the orange or yellow isnt hot enough... had a b20 do that to me and it sucked.... also check the the fuses to make sure none of them are blown
