So i have kind of a weird issue. I have an ls/vtec swap in my teg. Recently my car would sputter when I initially hit the throttle. The next day my wife drove the car and she called me to tell me that the car wouldn't rev past 3,500 rpm's. I test drove the car when she got home and and heard a weird knocking noise. I realized that it was my distributor. The inside off the distributor was all f*cked up. So I went to replace it with another ls dizzy. The car didnt want to start...... to get to the point I went bout ght what I thought was a b16 dizzy and it ended up being for a d16. But after trying numerous distributors the only one that will run my car is the one from the single.....Any suggestions?

 

wires, plugs, cap,rotor, dizzy

 

all new but the only dizzy that works is the one from the single

 

nobody has any ideas

 

So the first dizzy you bought didnt want to run? I had that problem before and it turned out to be a bad new one... I am pretty sure that all of the obd1 dizzies internals are swappable if I remember correctly... I may be wrong though...

 

i tried more than one. i tried an ls one then the one for the single, then a b16 dizzy. the only one that worked was the one for the single...

 

How is it running with the single slam one? If it runs great then I wouldnt worry about it. We are talking about a 95 db7 aren't we?

 

yea its a db7. but it doesnt run good. it sputters and is extremely slow.

 

I would check the timing and make sure it hasn't jumped or anything.

 

alright ill do that and then ill update

 

Seeing as how the d16 distributor isn't made to run a b series ls/v why don't you try out a gsr distributor? IIRC all obd1 b series dizzy's are the same, but it couldn't hurt to try one more made for the motor.
just my 0.02

 

ive tried them all except for the gsr one. i was runnig it b4 with an ls dizzy

 

does anyone else have any thoughts on what it could be?

 

how about a picture of it

 

a pic of the dizzy?

 

try drilling small hole to let charged air escape. just a thought ,have to do it with my msd.
