So it's turning over, and getting fuel? But no spark?

have you checked all your grounds? I think the one underneath the distributor is the one that people generally forget to hook back up.

maybe someone else can answer this but didn't the later versions of the A1 have an external igniter?

[f22a6accord]

no spark pretty sure its getting fuel i hear the fuel pump

I don't think so, but the OP probably either converted internal to external dizzy, or could have left the ECU ground of the t-stat housing.

[f22a6accord]

is it the one that grounds to the water neck where the thermo is

Thats for the ECU, yes that's the one I speak of, think he is too.

[f22a6accord]

would that cause the turn signals to interfere with the safety switch?

yeah that's what i meant..

Sounds like you got some wiring issues as well.

[f22a6accord]

all the wires matched up except the iab and im not worried about the 15 horsepower difference but i might have overlooked that ground

Its VERY common to forget it.

found the ground that i forgot to bolt cant believe i forgot it because i had to take the old one off the new motor when they cut every wire power steering and all went great still a little concerned about the fuel problem put 10 in the tank a little over 1/4 tank from the light being on drove 9 miles to see how it drove gas went way down quick too quick know a reason for that? also my tach is kinda jumpy if you get what im saying sometimes it will say its not idling at all or at like 100 rpm motor doesn't bog down or anything shifts great though theres a hissing noise also some where haven't really looked for that but i think its the a/c pulling air through the condenser i disconnected the a/c lines planning to get a shorter belt so i can get rid of the dead weight

Sounds like a bad ignitor.

If you used an F22A6 in a 90-91 that is wired for an internal coil, you can use the F22A1's distributor. The engine head and block castings are pretty much identical. Anything that bolts to one will bolt to the other. No need to rewire.
