Guys I'm stumped Im having a problem with misfiring at idle on Cylinders 1&2 on my b18b1. I have changed cap wires plugs the works except for rotor. I will be changing the rotor soon but i don think that is the issue because it would cause bad park all the way around. the Dizzy doesn't appear to be warped. Could this be a Ignitor or ECU issue? and insight would be greatly appreciated.

List of things i have checked
Injectors are good.
Injector wiring is good
Compression is good 175 -180 on all 4
Rotor seems to be OK but i might replace it for ****s and giggles

Really at a loss here

The cap terminals for 1 and 2 are at the bottom of the distributor cap. This suggests that the cap may be somehow dislocated from its proper position. Or perhaps the bottom two wires are not long enough and/or are not seated correctly.

Observe how the cap is seated and how well the wires are seated. Then remove the cap and study the cap's internal terminals to see if there is any difference in appearance between terminals 3-4 and 1-2.

Thanks for the tip, but i checked that after I changed plugs, cap, and wires. I can always double check because like I said I'm open to any information that can get my eg back on the road. My truck is killing me driving to and from work lol I was also thinking the the rotor might be on wrong. Could timing be an issue? Looks to be dead nuts on but hey I'm only human lol

Nhaa timming wouldnt affect the spark quality/size, Im assuming you already tried swapping cables and plugs around to see if changes anything on the sparks if not Id try that. Could always tried a dizzy from a friend to help you pinpoint the issue and there like $30 usually from a wreck yard.

Yeah man I have swapped everything around with out messing with the firing order of course. As far as going to my pull a part there was only one obd1 integra and it was gutted for parts. There just isn't an abundance of parts here might have to drive for a bit to get a new used dizzy I could go the auto zone path, but I would like to stay oem. And I can't use a friend's dissy because he has a s2k lol but I will try and get my hands on a new dizzy and see what happens man. Thanks for the post man

Not the best option here as I remember reading that spark are possibly weaker but d series obd1 works on b series... Civic are time a dozen here, their o2 sensor sure helped me last time hehe.

ChanceLyon

Yeah there are a few here, but most are vtec. Don't know how I feel about mixing d series with b lol what about the ignitor? I know the coil is good because I wouldn't get any spark if it had $$$$ the bed.

I dont personally believe there's any difference as I ran one on my teg as a back up with no issue I just cant recall if all the bolt hole lined up. But if there would be a difference in spark I guess the ignitor could be different, that I have no knowledge on... I cant recall if honda list the dizzy internal parts online but that would be a good way to compare parts number if they do have em.

ChanceLyon

Yeah man I might have to give it a shot lol I'ma stop by the pull a part place tomorrow and see what they have.
