weird happening with d15b7
ok guys its been a while, my buddy's 93 civic w/ d15 and 5 speed is acting weird, its randomly shutting off, seems like the main relay down by the clutch pedal. the weird thing tho, is when it does it, the tach jumps like crazy but the engine does not rev, at idle it bounces from about 800 RPMS to 15-2000 RPMS. once it shuts off, wait about 10 minutes and it starts back up and doesnt shut off the rest of the day usually. (will still shut off every once in a while). is that weird tach problem the tach? or is that the relay too you guys think?

mine did the same **** when my alternator went out. right before it started sputering. it either means a bad ground or a loss in power. if it was an ignitor it would turn off or drive funny and not have any power.

Note the connection between the igniter and tachometer on the lower right below:
IOW, the igniter among other things senses the RPM and sends a signal to the tachometer.
Test the igniter. Like the others say, there is a good chance it is the problem. See the shop manual or the free online manual at www.autozone.com, http://www.autozone.com/addVehicleId...00c15280061642
