Yeah, I did check the timing and it's still dead on.

 

one word....... COIL

this just happened on my old 92 cx.... replaced the coil, and now it's happy

I would say if not the fuel filter, wires, dist. cap, and rotor...moisture + electricity = fucked in the ***

 

Indeed I'll see if I can pick these parts up today. I just want this thing to last me a few more months until springtime.

 

ill be pulling a d15b2 with 99k on it soon , but i dont think that will solve your problem. i agree with it being something electrical. my girlfriends friend's car used to stall out at weird random times, and it was because some wire somewhere became bare, and if it got wet it would stall out. it also would stall out if it was near cell phones. the signal did something and it would stall out on the highway at 60. keep us updated.

 

Thats some wierd stuff man. Must have sucked. Yeah I'll be dropping in a D15B7 mini-me and Si tranny swap I put together this spring. I'd do it now but I really can't afford the downtime or the below freezing temperatures outside, so I got to make this engine last until then.
I did swap the plug wires this afternoon. That didn't take care of it, so I installed a new coil and it hasn't had any studdering problems yet. It may have solved it but inless it happenes again I won't know for sure.

 

ill cross my fingers for you.

 

You know you can check volatge of coils to check if there good

 

Hmmm, can I ask how? Is there a voltage meter or something you connet to a spark plug? The old one i replaced was origional (over 200K miles) and didn't look so healthy, so it's probably a good idea i replaced it anyway. but just for future reference I'd like to know how you can check a coil's voltage.
