I have the same issue now, except the jumpy needle. Mine runs for about 10 mins then dies. I replaced cap rotor plugs and wires. I even changed the coil and it did it still. Ever get a fix for this?

make you sur you dont have any cut or loose wires

in my distributor the negitive connection internally some wire was exposed, but i covered it and it is fine from what I can tell. It wasnt cut or nothing, just little of the insulative material was off.

I had a similar issue with my integra when I first bought it, Jumpy needle right before the ICM failed. The service manual says to trace the wires down from the distributor and check for exposed/loose wires.

I believe there is also information on this in the [faq] thread i stickied at the top of the forum
