Do you have spark at the plugs? If not LMK, I might still have my Honda Repair Kit(aka grenade) in the garage.

I don't remember if that year falls into it or not, but those 93+ style had distributor problems. there's an upgrade/fix for it envolving a small part from msd and a different distributors that does wonders. although it's been a couple years since reading up on it. I can't remember anything on what it is. do some research on performanceprobe.com

So what are you expecting this probe to do when you stick it up your ass that its not doing?

so when I ask for help I expect to get help not a bunch of smart ass remarks.

Its a ****ing daily driver that I'm trying to get running for a friend of mine.

Its got spark to all four cylinders. I haven't checked the fuel pressure yet but when I took the old plugs out they were soaked in gas. I'm gonna drain the old gas out of the car, put some new in, pull the fuel rail and injectors make sure they are all clean and working. The injectors themselves have between 9.3 and 9.5 volts running to each of them so power shouldn't be an issue.

Anyways I will let you know after we do some fuel testing.

Thanks to the guys who actually want to help!
