The distributor in the Civics has a function of also engaging the coil to create spark. No spark = no fire. Perhaps take a plug out, leave the lead on, hold it with INSULATED pliers against a solid metal part of the engine and get someone to crank the engine over. If the plug sparks - coil and firing switch OK. If no spark, check coil first - remove main + feed lead from coil terminals and check on a meter for power with key on but NO motor cranking. No power = faulty distributor/firing switch.No other ideas sorry! GH

If you ran out of gas in your 1995 Honda Civic and you have refueled but now the car will not start, you might have an issue with the starter. Sometimes when you crank the car over and over, you damage the starter. You might also have a clogged fuel filter or a damaged fuel pump.
