hi, I have a 1991 Honda civic DX 1.5, i got as a gift from my uncle but would not star, compression is fine, change the spark plugs with the wires, engine cover gasket set, fuel filter, distributor cap gasket and the o ring, battery is new, so any way the engine rotates and you actually see smoke coming out the exhaust but nothing else, i took the carburetor cap of and spray star fluid and still w/o star.
any suggestion will be appreciated.
thank you for your reply

make sure the main relay that run anything and everything located under the hood latch is working, you will hear it click when you turn the key on!

Check the injectors, check for all the fuse make sure none is burn out, if that don't work, then maybe its the distributor hopefully that will help.

its not always a main relay. check to see if your plugs are sparking. also your a ohm meter and check to see if your getting power to the dizzy plugs and then take off the cap and see if your getting power to the wires that go into the coil pack.
