Honda Civic 1991 1.5L 200K miles, Hatchback
Seems to start ok when there are max. Amps available during start. When it starts it runs very well and never dies. When it won't start it cranks very well with no spark at the plugs..

Question
What is stopping my voltage form reaching the plugs? thanks Darrell

I will check to see if i have b+ on one side of the coil you can use a simple test light conect one end of the test light to a ground and check the coil wires if ok switch the test light and conect one side to b+ and check the coil wires one of them should blink as you try to start if it dont you need a distrbuter if it does and no spark you need a coil
Good luck
