hotrex, xenocron, whitey, anyone remotely close to philly
 

i had some ignition break up problems last night on hte drive up here from D.C. took a look at the dizzy this morning and noticed the case arouind the coil was cracked and looked like it was burned. so i got a new dizzy and it wont start. it ran for a few seconds and then wont do anything now.

Tweek, I'm on my way, sit tight. :P

Re: hotrex, xenocron, whitey, anyone remotely close to philly
 

yup, sounds like a legit diagnosis ::)

i bet you didnt even check the basics did you. fuel? spark? codes?

Re: hotrex, xenocron, whitey, anyone remotely close to philly
 

i'm not getting spark, i was going up the highway and it started to misfire and the CEL came on. i shut it down immediately, when i went to try and start it up again the CEL was gone and i wasnt flashing any codes. i started it it back up and everything was fine. when i go to start the car in the morning it was misfiring horribly and i got the CEL again and it was for teh crank angle sensor. so i take off the cap to see if there is any visible damage to the dizzy and my coil was cracked open and it was burnt inside. so i go to Vato-zone and get a new dizzy, i put it on and the car started for a few seconds and then shut down. now i'm confused because i'm not throwing codes, i'm getting fuel, but still no spark. my dad and i played with it for a while and we cant figure it out.

in case anyone asks,this is on a LS with i/h/e

Tweek take out the plugs and look at that. THey sound fouled to me if you were having ignition issues.

Re: hotrex, xenocron, whitey, anyone remotely close to philly
 

man it sounds like a bad coil. the majority of no spark problems on hondas that ive worked on are all coil related.

Re: hotrex, xenocron, whitey, anyone remotely close to philly
 

....or the ignitor is bad. if it messedup while driving, did you see the RPM gauge just drop to zero at any point while driving? When it does that, the spark actually stops and you arent going anywhere until it feels like working again. Then you have to replace it. About $90 for a ignitor. For that price I'd just buy a new dist form distributor king on ebay.

Re: hotrex, xenocron, whitey, anyone remotely close to philly
 

i replaced the complete dizzy, so in theory that should have solved my problem w/ the busted coil/ignitor/CKP sensor etc

i pulled the plugs while we were checking the car and they looked fine, if anything i am running slightly lean in cyl 2 & 3 compared to 1 & 4

Re: hotrex, xenocron, whitey, anyone remotely close to philly
 

Most of the no spark problems that i've seen are a bad ingnitior, check your grounds to make sure that their still intact, don't forget the one on the thermostat housing. Need to get a book and test the coil and ignitor.

Re: hotrex, xenocron, whitey, anyone remotely close to philly
 

i would have done all that but i was limited on tools and time, thats why i left the car up there and am going back next sunday

Re: hotrex, xenocron, whitey, anyone remotely close to philly
 

i had something similar happen to me the other night. i was driving down the interstate at about 4,300 rpm (b16 tranny) and suddenly the car bogged down to 3500 rpm and wouldnt let me rev pass 4g, so i drove home under 4 g and checked my injector wires and saw that one of the wire were showing metal and was grounding out. tapped up the wires and problem solved. my coilpack in the dizzy was also cracked i replace em too.
