Default Distributor problems...

Hey Guys,

First off, I wanna thank you guys for helping me with the information about my intake..

but now, I have a distributor problem...my distributor is not working..this like the third distributor that I change..I don't know if there is a problem in my car that is messing up the distributor or the guy that is giving me the distributors are giving me not so good distributors.

I need some help, what you guys think it might be bad distributors from my friend or my car is destroying the distributors...

btw, I have a 94 civic DX 1.5CL

well we moved it from one place to another by using a screw driver to one of the cables that goes to the engine..so it can turn on..

it turns on every once in a while...plus when I drove it..you could tell that the car was running low on power....my mechanic checked it out and said that it was the distributor....but my problem is that I don't know if there is a problem with the distributor or a faulty wiring within the car that is messing up the distributor..because this like my third distributor..

when it was "running low on power" did it sound like it was misfiring? if this is your third dizzy then it could be some wiring, check your plug wires.

more info
