What are the signs of a bad ignition coil/distributor??
 

Hey all,

I was curious to find out what some tell-tale signs are for a coil and distributor going bad??

I'm troubleshooting a major bogging problem I am having with another car I have.

Thanks,

Andy

i had a big problem... my rpm's were jumping after 3,000. Well on the speed amitor they were jumping but car was fine. then car started to jurk alot (when driving die's, then starts cuz driving) and all that problem was in the distributor. After i changed that car runs perfect! https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif

Did you change the whole Distributor, or just the housing?

Meaning, did you get the distributor with the ignitor, coil, already inside or did you already have these parts and just replace the distributor housing?

Hope you can understand my question. I am boggled by my no-start problem as well and would like to get to the bottom of it. Tired of buying parts! LOL!

I was having severe bogging issues with my car as well and it came down to the distributor. I checked on the parts I needed and it was about $40 more for a brand new distributor through distributor king. Now no problems.

Just a tip, I had a misfire on my d16z6 and It was a valve that needed adjusting just a tip.
My coil might be bad as well
Because my car Boggs down
Then shuts down after a few mins I'm going to change it out
And let you guys know what happens.
