What would cause no spark on a 1999 Honda civic si?

There could be several things to cause no spark, but one I have ran into is the Ignition Control Module inside the distributor or the coil inside is bad.

Why would there be metal shavings in the transmission pan of a 1994 Pontiac Bonnieville with the 4T60E transaxle?

A small amount of shavings is normal. That is why there is a magnet inside the pan to collect the shavings. A large amount or large pieces of metal is not normal and will require a professional to diagnosis. It it has run good and has not had shifting problems, or strange noises, then it is most likely fine. I just rebuilt my son's 4T60E transmission for that very problem. I found two sources of the metal shavings: The teeth on the reverse reaction drum (stove pipe) and the spyders for the differential in the final drive carrier were in the process of shelling out.
