I have been having weird ignition related issues with my 89 Prelude SI, and have it narrowed down somewhat now. I go through igniter modules. I am on my 4th igniter unit (the last one only lasted 2 weeks!) Obviously there is something wrong with my car (a short or something) that is blowing the igniter. I am thinking about installing a fuse somewhere to prevent any further loss of igniter modules while I am figuring out what is wrong, preferably at the unit itself. From the wiring diagrams, I don't see that the ignition components are protected by an individual fuse.
If I did this, what rating fuse should I use? Also, which wire should I install it on (see diagrams below). The black/yellow wire is the power source for the unit, but do you think the engine signal (white) could cause any damage? What about the secondary coil wire (blue)?
