1994 Honda Accord Sedan vtec fuel inj.16v
I had the car stalling while driving down the road problem then it would start after i waited a few minutes.
Purchased a ICM and went through the dizzy problems of removal!
Found screw OK and took it out then rotor was stuck- rust- and it got broke and then came out. I installed new rotor the Ign. ctr. Modual and put it back together and now no spark.
Here are my questions:
I read about check fuses they are two boxes one under the hood and one on the side pannel on driver side near hood release (What fueses do I check?) maybe I blew one working on the rotor.
I checked the ground on G101 and cleaned it and the battery.
Still I get no spark when I put the main coil wire on steel when cranking.
I can not find the trouble code port so I can jump it and do the key test . any one know where to find it? book said pass side under dash could use a picture.
How to I check the Coil ?
What next?

First suggest downloading the 94-97 Accord manual from Online Manuals links in DIY forum. This has pics and procedure to check coil.
You check the resistance of primary and secondary coils. The primary, A (Blk/yel) -B (Blu) wires to coil should be disconnected for testing.
Primary resistance is practically a short; 0.4-0.6 ohms, and secondary is very high; 22-34 kohms. Usually secondary is one that will have internal shorts, but primary could be open also. Secondary post is the coil output post. Check resistance between A post and Secondary post.
good luck

I thought all the Vtec's were EX trim, but maybe not.
If you have an external coil, there are 4-pin connectors. If you look at coil connector the four pins are A-C upper row nears the latch, and B-D lower row furtherest from the latch. Check primary resistance at A-B, 0.6.-0.8 ohms and secondary between A and coil output terminal; 14-22 kohms.
I'm glad your 50A fuse is good.

Figured that out. The books we showing the dizzy with the Coil inside. Through me for a loop.
I did the Ohm test risistance between A & C is 1.2 on the reader set at 200 ohms it beeps on this setting. My book says should be between 0.3-0.4 ohms ( Is this failure?)
Test between A & Secondary Terminal is 17.5 when set at 200K on the ohm dial. my manual says should be between 14,000 - 22,000 ohms
Still learning this tester I hope I am correct?
If the coil is bad then I can move forward. I did get a rotor at the parts store and it looks a little different then old one. I think they asked if v-tec and I said yes. I saw an exact match tonight at parts store and it was the same and had a copper tip one now is silver. But they are both close. Could this be the problem. The car had spark and after I changed the ICM and put this rotor on no spark?

Primary is checked between A-B. A-C should show a dead short (0 ohms). Resistances this low can be problematic and calibration of the meter may prevent accurate readings.
Do you have a lower range (0-20K ohms) to measure secondary? This will be more accurate, but looks like secondary is OK.
F22B1 is Vtec engine and F22b2 is non-vtec. Not sure why the Vtec requires a different distributor from the non-vtec; perhaps higher combustion pressures at high rpms?

I found the jumper under the dask see link with pictures.
CEL Check Engine Light
Fault code 15 Ignition Output Siginal shows up.
This makes since because I get no power to the ICM when checking from battery ground to ICM.
Maybe I check Igniter?
Ground at Thermostate?
Black & yellow wire for short?
Maybe ignition switch?
Next step?

As you suspect, check your ignitor installation carefully and ground to distributor.
Also check that you are getting 12v on blk/yel wire to the distributor when keyswitch is On. A failing keyswitch can cause intemittent engine stoppage.

Maybe I own a half-bread Car.
Need to clairfy things.
My dizzy look different then the manuals.
screws; one is diamagnetic this is new to me and the picture looks different then what I have?
It is sort of like the Hitachi however different cap and rotor.
Other common thing I see is ICM and ignitor are the same thing?
Fig. 8: Terminal identification on engines without VTEC

tryed to up load picture not sure if worked?
going to garage to look for bad connections
What about the ignition switch this fails I read also ?
