Bump anyone wanna help me out

Re: pls help car won't start help asap (spoon95eg)
 

i think you just have to rotate the pic to match your dizzy, then follow the numbers.

Re: pls help car won't start help asap (dpetro1)
 

i bet you anything that sparkplug wire order is what is holding you back...
i made the same mistake, except the car started, causing the car to run like shit.
I thought my motor was blown for a while....untill my buddy noticed it.

opps i think the diagram i posted was for a d-series. ill confirm when i get back from class today.

Re: pls help car won't start help asap (dpetro1)
 

glad i could refresh your mem

ok heres the damn cliff notes STRAIGHT TO THE POINT FOR YOU

***here is the cylinder head ordering ( 4 3 2 1 )

****the distributor goes like this...
3 4
1 2

Or just set the motor to TDC and take off the cap and see where the rotor is pointing. Then go from there.

That's called "Red Death" and means the bushing in the distributor sub-assembly is about to take a shit on you. When this wears out, it allows the shaft to wobble which sends out 'incorrect' ignition waveforms to the ECU. You can try searching for a replacement bushing/bearing but I don't know that anyone ever found one to work. Honda certainly doesn't make one - you can only get the sub-assembly from them.

dude just do it already, my little diagram is right

Re: pls help car won't start help asap (EE_Chris)
 

Oh no so that mean I should change the whole thing or where can I buy those bearing honda dealer?

that blows. chris always has good info especially when it comes to electrical components. how you doin btw havent really seen you around in a while.

Re: pls help car won't start help asap (spoon95eg)
 

Like I said, I know of no one that has sourced a replacement bushing/bearing, so at this point your only option is to get it from the dealer/online. So you don't need to buy a whole distributor, just the sub-assembly - the cage, if you will. You can transplant all your other stuff over to it (coil, igniter, etc).
