Problem with 1993 accord... No spark??

Not getting any spark from the plugs. Timing belt is fine. Any solution? The car just slowly died while driving and wouldnt crank back up. its a f22 motor.


Thanks guys hopefully ill get some suggestions and can avoid getting it towed to a shop.

Timing belt has nothing to do with spark. Definitely check the distributor.

i had this same problem on a 93 accord because i pressure washed the engine bay, and the distributor cap had a hairline crack in it, water got in there, and the car just died. i screwed with it for a few hours before i figured it out. really big pain for a part that didnt cost me more than $10.

if you change out your cap and rotor and it is still doing it, which i think it will be. replace the ignitor. these go out on these cars and i have had to replace them many times. good luck.
