Hi everyone.
Greetings from Bangladesh.
I have a Honda civic EK3 with D15Z4 motor. The other day while driving, my RPM dropped to zero twice and the engine died. Had to tow the car back to garage. On diagnosis, no spark was found from any of the spark plugs. Just to be sure, I replaced the distributor with a good one. Still no spark. Spark plugs and wires are new. Fuel pump primes when ignition is on. All fuses are ok. CEL was on for the last few days and I did not get to check them before. After the incident, I checked and found 3 CEL codes by sorting the diagnosis port. Code 1, 14 and 19, that is, intake air temperature sensor, idle air control valve and transmission lockup control. But none of these should cause the engine to die like that. Any idea what might have happened? Any suggestions and guidance is appreciated. I dont have a manual with me and this is my first car.
Regards ....

PS: My distributor has seven pins. Any idea what the 7 pins are for ?
