i recently had a single cam vtec distributor on my grey plug b16, but i wanted to get the right one so i bought one from a member of honda tech he said it was a b16 one (td-68u)it s the right one.
The new now bogs and the tach goes crazy, it doesnt throw any codes just does run right when i step on the gas, it is fine at idle. It is a cx wiring i dont know if anything is different. and all the bolts line up and everything i dont know what is wrong. firing order from right to left _____
( 3 4 ) 4 3 2 1
1 2

c'mon.. be more specific.

yeah it hesitates ? or
yeah you checked ur timing?

im assuming ur obd1 rite? might wanna re-double check the wires. and the sputtering could be due to some dirty/fouled spark plugs.

and what exactly is ur tach doing? (check to make sure ur blue wires are connected properly and together.)

 

all i did was change the distributor i didnt touch anything else that didnt need to be.
ok checked timing-ok
changed; plugs,cap, and rotor
the car will hesitate and bog while the tach is going crazy, i seems like it is going to die but picks up
i can be in the high rpms like 7000 and it will jump really fast in beetween 1000 and 7000 really fast, or just stay a t a certain rpm even though i am flooring it , kind of seems like when you have a bad ground but i dont think that is it. it really wont do it but above 2500 rpms. that is the best way i can explain it.
it doesn't throw any cells at all either

 

umm.. man...

what ecu are u using?

-if u have the correct dizzy now. and if the ecu is correct. ....
im starting to feel kinda stumped here...

-maybe the dizzy is bad?.... it happens, even with new ones.

-did u have to re-wire anything at any point in time? or has it all been plug and play all the time? like did u rewire the harness when u put the single cam dizzy on there?

 

no i didnt rewire anything the ecu is a p28 chipped, i have been seaching and alot of people are having this problem when thier ignighters go bad and sometimes its aground or something along those line.
But i dont think ignighters are cheap over 100 or something to much just to find out that is not it.
Now i have checked all the grounds and etc. i dont know what it is?
Hey thanks for all your help and input

 

man sorry dude.... umm... do one of ur friends have si motor in thier car? maybe u can try out there dizzy? just to make sure urs isnt bad or something.... cuz i gess if everything else is good.. then its only gonna point to the dizzy being messsed up .....

or try a salvage/junk yard.. see if u can find an ignitor/ or another dizzy...

keep posting man. let me know what happens

 

i Clean alll the connections and took everything apart and sprayed everything down w/ electrical cleaner and tightened all the connection and guess what it ...
IT WORKS NOW...well i hope i will ocntinue to though thanks for all the help

 

sweet, good job man!!!!!!!!! have fun
