Hi everyone, I drive a 98 honda civic hatchback. last week I drove through some pretty deep water and started having problems. I know for a fact that I didn't hydrolock the engine because it didn't draw in any water and the compression checks out fine. Immediately after driving through the water, I stated having a miss on one cylinder. The problem was the distributor cap was full of moisture. Right, so as general maintenance I replaced the cap and rotor. Now I begin scratching my head. After putting everything back together, the car won't start. It turns over, and it is getting fuel, so I've narrowed it down to spark. I've tried just about everything though, from putting the old cap back on, new plugs, checking the resistance on the coil, fuses, everything. I am pretty stumped. Any ideas?
