k, here is my problem. i have a 93 SOHC non-vtec cx hatch. my dizzy died on me and i need a replacement. i call my friend and he said he has one, but off an ef.....OBD0, and i kinda need my car back on the road ASAP since its my only car. SOOOOOo seeing as my car is OBD1, would that dizzy work or not??

i read this post, but made me a lil more confused...

so if any help could be given, i'd REALLY appreciate it...cuz i need to find out so i can get a replacement dizzy FAST!!!!

I wouldnt use it, but if you wanted to i know with OBD2 you just cut the plugs and put the OBD1 plugs on and your good to go.

ive never tried using a OBDO dizzy on a OBDI. if it does fit. only thing you got to do is just cut off the connector on the dizzy and reconnect the wires to the OBDI plug. be sure to leave a lil room incase u mess up.

Damn i must be slow tonight. uve beatin me to 4-5 post luser..lol

didnt see that post. hahaa. it SHOULD be ok to cut and re wire the dizzy right?? as long as the dizzy's wires are connected fine?? the only reason i dont wanna shell out for a BRAND NEW unit is cuz im swappin the motor out soon and i dont wanna buy a new one JUST to take it back out.

finding a used distributor for your motor on Honda-tech shouldn't be all that difficult...especially for cx. Hell people might just be kind enough to give you one...check in the classifieds.

JDMlyfestyle

he said he wouldnt use it. but if its an emergency and temporary i would give it a shot.

just be sure to look at the wiring diagrams and put the right wire in the right spot otherwise it could lead to more trouble. electrical issues and no one likes those.

have you tried fixing yours??? do you know whats wrong with it? autozone has all the replacement parts in stock most likely, mine did, so you know ahead of time a new coil is 60 bucks thats what i needed

yea, the rotor basically came out or something, so now it doesnt rotate, and so i took it apart, basically broke it apart cuz that was trashed anyway, and the whole thing was messed up.
