Sea Foam. Argh! Ahh! Death! Destruction! What?

Re: Sea Foam. Argh! Ahh! Death! Destruction! What?
I use the same method but I NEVER let the car suck up so much seafoam that it stalls... that just sounds like you are asking for trouble.
It's good news though, that your engine is actually cranking over, which would indicate you are not hydrolocked.
Did you change the plugs out? There's really nothing that seafoam could damage if all you did was feed it through your brake booster like that.
Maybe the problem was not caused by the seafoam but just randomly happened when you were using it?
I dunno what it could be other than the dizzy if you aren't getting spark, and using seafoam shouldn't affect the dizzy.

Ok so I'm definitely not getting a spark. I just replaced the dist. cap/rotor less than 100 miles ago. I just opened them up and inspected them and they seem fine.
Here's a pic of my distributor with the cap, rotor, and cover off. (b16a3 OBD-1 DOHC VTEC)
Can someone please edit this pic showing me how to troubleshoot and inspect the distributor and coil and things for any damage? Like where to place the OHM meter probes, what to set the OHM meter to, what kind of readings I should expect....etc.

what happend is you "grounded" out the electrode in the spark plug and by doing that you put extra stress on the *coil* and *ignitor* and burnt one of the other out. i'd try swaping the coil out first, almost any honda coil will work. and if that doesnt work change the ignitor, i'll bet thats your problem. I have had a few of them going bad pulling spark plug wires off and them grounding out and putting to much load on it. I've even done it to an msd coil.
