HT current is grounding through the body of the coil. The low pressure of your test voltage is not sufficient to show the problem. The coil is pooched, trust me. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

refresh my education. when testing with the ohm meter i ohm out from coil

since i work at a gm dealer i have access to parts house parts at a
reasonable fee. i was priced a coil for 70 and an ignitor if need be for 130. i found the entire distributor at another for 165 less the cap and rotor button. is it probable that i fouled the ignitor as well as the coil? if that is the case i might as well replace the whole shooting match. |

oh yeah, i guess that the ease of installation is also important. it seems
that the distributor would be pretty much bolt in and set timing. the coil on the other hand, seems to be do able by a slightly trained monkey. are there any unforseen pitfalls that i have not accounted for in the replacement of either the dist of the coil? if so any pointers would be appreciated. |

Well you were probably right about the coil alone being the problem,
however for some reason i just had a gut feeling that due to the higher mileage i was asking for trouble by installing just the coil. distributor has now been replaced and the civic barely made a quarter turn before blasting back into service. I really appreciate all of your help on this matter. The old honda is revitalized. yall be sure to holler if you have any questions related to gm vehicles as i have infinate resources in that dept. thanks again. MOJO out. |
