Default engine is missing?

My tack goes crazy while im driving, from 1000 to 5000 and just all over the place. My motor is starting to miss fire so I know somthing in my distributor is going out. ( probably the coil. Should I just get a msd cap rotor and coil and call it good. Go buy a new coil from honda. Or get an new dizzy from exenocron. My setup is LS vtec in and 92 EG. Thanks

Don't bother wasting the money on a MSD external coil setup, they're junk. Had one on my hatch for 6 months or so and started hesitating and misfiring at part throttle. Changed back to the stock cap and coil setup and problem solved.

oh...the head is bad, give it to me :P

i would take a good look at the distributor. see if it has any play in the shaft/bearing...

no CEL on?....stupid question but...is there a bulb in it? when you put the key to ON does it go on then off?
