I think it was a napa coil I know its not what everyone recomends for coils but I have not had a problem with them in the past so i didnt see a reason to change yet.
And no eric it is not an aftermarket distributor
I have now checked the ignition switch and rechecked the the fuses to make sure i didnt miss anything.
I called a repair shop here in town they said one of the fuses in the fuse box under the hood should have popped cause that is what usually happens.
I am starting to get extremely annoyed with my car i need it running again cause it costs me to much to drive my wifes car lol
I have already bought an ICM cause that is what (by following erics video) i think the problem is.
Please i need some more input since most of the people I have talked to about this say that it is unlikely to be my ICM.
lol not to sure about that one… my lease agreement doesnt allow for me to work on my car or stuff like that. I have to work with friends or con my dad into letting me use his hangar for a few days.
on a side not my car was running and i was able to put 600 miles on it before my alternator (from the previous engines lol) crapped out on me. I have a new alternater on and now it wont start I am starting a tech thread to try and find an answer. you can check out this one too

does the valve cover state that it is vtec?
if it is VTEC then could be a d16y8 if not vtec then most likely a d16y7.
I am guessing what you have since you have not given us enough info to help you all that much
Third gear has got it right check out the link for a good read on engine break in theories and practices

The second code was for the torque converter clutch stuck open. And the misdirected was taken care of with new wires. My mom is gonna take it to the shop for the tcc cause I start school again Monday and don’t have the time.
while waiting for him to show up I pulled spark plugs, and found out the number 6 spark plug wires insulation was worn through around the outside from the o 2 sensor. he arrived about a half hour after I pulled spark plugs we put the scan tool on and pulled the codes found out that there was a misfire on cylinder 6 and there was also a transmission code I am at home now and don’t remember what it was I will get back to you later with it. I am heading to get some new plugwires today
she will not drive it to a parts store since any part store is 40 min away from her house and doesnt want to get stranded if something goes wrong (she worries to much I have AAA lol ). I have narrowed it down based on the way it is acting to a few things.
plugged fuel filter
plugged up cat
fuel pump electrical problems/bad connections
ignition
I am heading down there today to acutally do some diagnostic testing with what tools I have (not very much most are locked up at the college for the summer).
She went ahead and bought some tune up stuff since it hasnt been done in a long while. After i get done testing fuel and ignition and if i find nothing wrong I will move on to replacing fuel filter, air filter, plugs and whatever else she bought. reset the ecu and see if the CEL comes back on. If it does then I am driving it to a parts store to look up codes.well i got down here about an hour ago gave it a quick test drive has no power. I could barely pass a semi up a hill and it is a supercharged bonneville.
anyway got it back called a friend at a shop that I know he is gonna snag a scantool from work and bring it over for a steak off of the BBQ lol
in the mean time I went ahead and replaced the fuel filter it only took 5 minutes.
As soon as he gets here we are gonna scan for codes and I will post up what I find.
thanks for the help so far guys
