i have a 92 honda prelude with some ignition problems. It does not throw a spark from the distributor. we checked the computer and it has a burned circuit on the wiring that runs to the igniter in the distributor. i ordered a new computer but the problem is i cant find what caused it in the first place and would hate for it to happen again with the new computer already in. Has anyone had this type of problem before or have any suggestions for me?

 

it's very common problem. Search on here for igniter and you will see many posts about them going bad.

Why is this a poll?

 

Thanks for the info. Checked out the info you told me to and come to think of it, the car did have some of the same symptoms corresponding to a bad igniter. Although the damage is done and my computer's fried, I have to wait till the new computer comes in. I think I'll go ahead and buy the igniter anyhow. So thanks man.

I don't know how a poll got on my post ...I'm a newbie LOL. But your votes would be highly appreciated. J/K
