hello I just recently did a head gasket change on my 1993 civic dx and it worked great for a while but now it won't start. sounds like it wants to but just cant for some reason.
my car is a d15b7 all stock.
stuff I have checked.
Got new plugs and wires around 3 months ago.
Plugs are all good except for 1 looks a little orange.
Fuel pump DOES turn on when i turn the power on.
Alternator starts
Battery was charged
Starter engages
Next in line I figured would be the dist. cap and rotor since I am pretty sure it's spark. Took the cap off and the prongs are kinda corroded and chipped. Also the rotor has worn down teeth with junk in them. scraped off the corrosion from the dist. cap and kinda cleaned out the teeth of the rotor.
Just wondering if that may be the problem! thanks!
Note: does not start fast or anything and theres no room for my timing belt to slip off so pretty sure the timing belt is fine.
