what would cause a dizzy to go bad on the car? i have had 2 go bad in my 90 teg with b16 swap. is it something in the wiring i might need to change? grounding the ecu? also i am running a pr3 ecu chipped.i had this swap in a 91 crx si untill my wreck. had no problems then.

 

When you say bad what do mean. Coil or the actual rotating assembley. Metal shavings in the dist.

 

You're not the only one...even though i am running a z6 on obd0, i'm using a teg dizzy also. For some reason almost every dizzy i've tried has gone bad, including the integra unit. Usually it's the sensors or the bearings that go in them. If anyone's got any info why this is, please post up...i would also like to know.

 

YES,its the crank angle sensor and the top dead center sensor that keep going out.code 4 code9.

 

new dist's?

 

woa, that's some fucked up ----. maybe you broke a wire when you put the engine in like I did. some ground wire coming off of the ecu wasn't grounding, so I just soldered the wire onto the car right by the ecu, it works good now.

 

ijust recieved my new/used dizzy that i bought off ebay.put it on and my car started,imagine that.no codes but im afraid it wont last.cant afford buying these anymore.what wire did u ground off the ecu? i might have to do that too cause my pr3 wont fit in the mounting holes that the pr4 set in.so i dont think its grounded the ecu case i mean.

 

the problem could be cause you keep buying used dizzy's. and there crappy to begin with. is that possible

 

Well where do you suppose i can get a new one? if i could buy it new i would have.i only see used and never new.

 

it wasn't a matter of grounding the case of the ecu for me, it was a wire that needed ground and wasn't grounding. the car wouldn't even start so since yours starts you don't have the same problem as me.
