Hello, ive got a 90 honda accord and I just replaced the engine to a 93 accord and im having issues with the car not firing up. The car seems like its not firing from the spark plugs and I have replaced the rotor, cap, and ignitor coil in the distributor. Everything else is running smoothly. The car started up and drove ok after the engine was replaced and now i've been running into multiple issues and everything i've done just isn't working.

The car isnt firing from the spark plugs at all and I've replaced the cap, rotor and ingnitor coil in the distributor. Do you think I need to replace the whole distributor or something else?

Also I tested the spark plug wires and they are hot, and I've gotten the module checked and its working fine.

I would look at trying a second distributor, the coils on these tend to over heat and short out, if you remove it you may see grey arching marks on the coil.
