Electrical Problem? HELP!
Alright, so here's the deal:
I have a 1994 Honda Prelude, manual, with a jdm h22a. Recently, while on the highway, I noticed my tach needle starting to bounce up and down a bit. Other times, there would be no bouncing at all. Over the next week, the problem started to get worse and worse, and eventually the car would start to stall out when in neutral. It would start back up right away at first, but that got worse too, until one night, the car would not start at all, even with giving it some gas (which had helped other times). Now, the car will start up right away and act fine at times, but it seems like as the engine starts to warm up, the problems get worse. I'm also experiencing jolting and hesitation at times. I had the car at a shop for about a week, and they could not figure out the problem. The vacuum lines are all good, I know, and the car idles normally. If anyone has any idea what the problem could be, please let me know.
Side note: I did replace the distributor about a month and a half ago after going through a large puddle, but it worked fine for a month until this started happening.

so all your problems started happening after you drove through the large puddle?
You dizzy controls the RPM gauge. Check your coil out too!
