Hey HT, I recently bought another hatchback since my sister drove into my old one. Its a 95 cx hatch, with a d16z6 swap in it. The guy I bought it from said the RPM doesn't ready because when she changed the dizzy, the fuse for the RPM blew to. Do you guys know where that particular fuze is? I've looked up the diagrams on The FAQ page (https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/faqs-frequently-asked-tech-questions-1998336/) props to the member who posted that page up I couldn't find it under the diagrams there. So Im wondering if i need to replace the cluster or take it out to access the fuse. please help me out Thanks!

Take a look at this, it was in the link you provided. You could thank RonJ for putting it in there. The fuse? look at the diagram

There's no fuse.

Is an OEM distributor installed?

Make sure the blue wire is connected to the igniter unit inside the distributor.

Kannan08

I'm not sure, which blue wire?

Former User

There's only one inside the distributor.

Question, my friend said that prior to removing the distributor, I need to mark the timing on the dizzy, so the timing wont be as off when i put it back on. How would I go about doing that?

Former User

You don't need to remove the distributor to check the blue wire. Just remove the distributor cap, rotor, and inner cover to see the blue wire.

Alright, thanks! I'll let you know how it goes

Hey guys I'm trying to take a look at the ignition module in my dizzy on a d16z6. I took of the spark wires and plugs. However thethis rotor as seen in the pic that's suppose to be face out so the screw shows so I can take it off. How can I tun it with out putting everything back and starting the car on a give a shot chance. Also I'm doing this because my rpm isnt reading on my cluster, and people on honda tech told me to check if a bue wire is connected. If possible help me through this and post pics as to which specific wire. Thanks ht

Crank the car buy turning the key, it wont start because you have the plugs an wires out but it will turn the rotor. Or crank the motor by hand with a 19mm on the crankshaft bolt.

yep...blip the starter motor until you get it til facing up.

then its easy as pie

Thanks guys, you have any specifications on how i should hook up the blue wire for it to register the rpm?

Hey HT, I followed up from the advice given from my previous post. I dismantled my distributor to find out where the 'blue wire' connects to the ignition module. The reason I'm doing this is because my RPM gauge isn't reading on my cluster. Motor is a D16Z6, and the previous owner said he blew a fuse when changing the dizzy. HT members said there wasn't a fuse and advised me to look if the blue wire was attached. I took apart the dizzy and i saw a blu/blk wire with a black wire, so I'm not sure if thats the blue wire.

If possible please help as to where the blue wire is, and where its suppose to hook up to.

A blue wire attaches to the igniter unit. That's where the rpm signal comes from. Have you located it? Start there. Post a picture.

From the bottom pic looks like the vtec pressure switch isnt wired up either. Green plug top left of pic.

Kannan08

Which one is the ignition unit and how would i remove it?

Kannan08

Yes it isn't either, but vtec hits, thats weird right?
