Also make sure you burp your coolant system. They act like a bitch if air gets around the coolant temp sensor.

you need to figure out what is broke before you start replacing stuff.

well i paid 10 dollars for the igniter and it came with the distributor seal so no big loss there. i had a feeling the coolant temp sensor was fucked any ways.

so i have a coolant temp sensor on the way. i ran my car today for 30mins and it was not running nearly as rich just alittle richer than normal. so i took out my plugs and a cleaned them off they had alot of carbon from running rich but by the time i did all this it got dark so i did not tun the car because i would not be able to tell anything any ways so i said ---- it. now that it is running better im going to switch out the coolant temp sensor and see how it goes. i got the one for a crx (pm6) because im going to be running the pm6 once i go turbo


EDIT: today i decided to run it since i cleaned the plugs the other day and while i was looking under the hood i noticed a small amount of smoke coming from the header, apparantly now that it is bright out i could see that two of the four runners for my 4-1 header are cracked at the collector and before the o2 sensor but it is running pretty smooth
