I am trying to replace the ignitor on a 1996 v6 Accord and removed the top screw holding it in. Does anyone know if there is another screw holding the base in. There is a screw coming in through the bracket that holds the coil harness in, but looks like a pain. However, the ignitor doesn't want to come out so I figure there is still a screw in one of the two bottom holes I'm seeing on the replacement piece.

Thanks in advance for help. Its cold here in Ohio and the less time I have to spend outside guessing in tight places the better.

 

Here's a link to the appropriate Honda parts page:

Here's an illustration of Both Sides Now.



Looks to be any combination of three possible screw holes. (Fits either 4 or 6 cylinder)

I see the picture, sorry if I am thinking wrong, I am just going off of the top of my head. I thought that there were only two small screws holding the ignitor in, they are the same thread pitch as the two small screws holding the small wires on to the ignition coil. It is possible to swap these screws but if the ignitor screws are installed into the ignition coil, they are too long and they will pull the contacts out of the coil and break the internal connection, killing the coil. BTDT sorry to say, is this not your setup?

For some reason I can not go to that parts link, I am blocked or something, its been that way for several months, I checked my computer security settings and it does not appear that I have blocked the site from my end???
