        Make sure the distributor is timed correctly and the spark plug wires are in the correct positions.

          yup you should mark your wires then switch them cuz you could of misplace one and connected it to the wrong input but sound like your car ain't gettine enough spark wich also allows it to turn off correct?....

            Have you touched the spark plug wires or distributor in the process? If you have removed the distributor make sure that you don't have it 180 out. Some cars the distributor only goes on one way, but since I don't have my cb7 yet, I don't know. Shouldn't even crank if it's 180 out though. Or at least my supra didn't when it was 180 out. I also think it could be the spark plug wires might be mixed up if you have touched them.

              the spark it is getting is great. I forgot to mention that i drove in today in the morning to work and it was fine and now it is turning over starting quite easily and then dying almost instantly... it is weird... we just replace the Igniter and already did fuel filter and fuel pump...and when the car is running or should i was when it was running it was running in perfect order so the plugs are in the correct positions.

                do you hear a click when you turn the key to the ACC/ON position? That would signify the Main Relay is working like it should. If you don't, then I suggest you take it out and resolder the points inside of it, b/c they could be cracked causing your sudden stalling. That relay controls the fuel pump.

                  I had a similar problem with a prelude. Trickle charge your battery and have your alternator tested. I believe Auto Zone tests them for free.

                        could it be a defective ignitor ?
