You might also consider buying a circuit breaker of the same amperage as the fuse that is blown. If it’s going to keep blowing, you won’t have to keep throwing fuses in there.

Just for example’s sake. They come in all sizes/amperage ranges.
I think I may have found my problem..I was checking fuses today and saw that fuse #31 was blown under the dash. On the manual it says “starter signal” could it be that?
LOL. First thing I was thinking was fuses, but then I saw how bad your distribute looked, and was focused on that.

No…YES!!!
…and get that wiring re-done eventually anyway. If this fuse keeps blowing you’ll need to reman or replace the starter, BTW.
I was checking the manual today and saw that the fuse was a 10 amp fuse that was on #31. On the manual it says a 7.5 fuse should go there. Should I throw in 7.5 amp as it says on the manual or a new 10 amp? The motor isn’t the stock B16A that it had it’s a JDM B16A.
Quoted From college man:
I would use the 7.5 amp.
+1
Use what the factory suggests. Using a too big of a fuse for a circuit not designed for it can lead to issues.
And would I be better off getting a used OEM Distributor or a New non OEM Distributor? http://www.ebay.com/itm/CIVIC-INTEGRA-DEL-SOL-NEW-IGNITION-DISTRIBUTOR-1-6L-1-8L-DOHC-VTEC-/290657336603?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item43ac86fd1b
I’m glad you found the blown fuse, replace it with the rating that was called for in your case 7.5a. I’ll say again that a used OE distributor is way better than any aftermarket unit you could find, good luck.
^I had a repeat fuse pop on my first car, Stratus 2.4L 1999, and it was the starter but eventually the crank position sensor’s WIRING got damage from a broken harness which then allowed the wires leading to the sensor from the ECU to get burned, causing a no-start but cranking was just fine.

So it cranked but didn’t start up?
^Yes, even with the new starter and no longer popping the fuse. The issue was damaged wires to the sensor. This also gave some symptoms including the car shutting off randomly while driving, by the next owner of the car (another family member). I had the starter issue and an alternator that needed replacing when I sold the car, I did this work myself and the crank sensor issue occurred within a week after, go figure.
Alright so today I put in a new distributor and it still does not turn on. It’s giving off spark but once I crank it for a while the muffler starts to pop. There’s fuel, spark, and air. So it should turn on right? I noticed that one side of my timing belt was loose and the other side was pretty tight. Could it possibly be that? I have no idea wha’s wrong with it. Like I said I crank it and after about 5 sec of cranking these weird pops come out of the muffler like it’s trying to start.
