Ok guys so here is the story so far. I did the head swap on my car and I cannot get any spark. I know my coil and ignition control module is good since I put it in a friends car and it started right up. I have two distributors with less then 100k miles on them and switching them does not change anything. I have another ecu on the way in case mine is fried. I have fuel and air. I stumped when it comes to why I have no spark. Everything worked fine before I did the head swap. I am about ready to take my car to a mechanic to get it fixed, but that is my last resort. I hope I gave enough info if anymore is needed I can get it. Thanks

Well it's either distributor timing or electrical. Sorry thats all I can say about this SOHC-DOHC since I dont know about it.

So if my timings off then I'm not going to get any spark at all?

My bad I wasn't thinking. If you aren't getting ANY spark whatsoever than you definitely have a wiring issue. Check to make sure you have all the grounds and check the ECU terminals.

Another person on here, frapjap , answered my question earler about my ecu. My lights aren't coming on when the keys is in the "on" position. The only thing they do is blink really quick when I turn the key to the "off" position. So I checked all my grounds and they all were fine. I just don't know what else to check, I did buy a new ecu in case my somehow got fried.
