okay got a b18c motor and jus changed the distributor to a real gsr distributor, prior to that i had a ghetto rigged ls distributor on it with an external msd coil, changed it to a gsr distributor with an internal coil from a sohc dx motor...i posted earlier if the internal coils of the dx and gsr were the same but didnt get a straight answer...

so i'm driving on the highway and i press on the gas but it doesnt respond, immediately after the car does and wont start.....checked for spark by placing a screw driver near the end of the spark plug wire and no spark.... car was running fine for a week ont he new distributor...so i go home come back and pop in the old distributor and it starts right up....

so is it the coil, or the whole distributor? what other components in the distributor should i check? thanks alot

 

Test the icm,and go from there, also check fuses.

 

it could be the plug or wires or cap or rotor or coil or just the whole thing. do some more testing is this happening wiht every plug.

icm = internal coil? if so how would i test it? and what fuses do i need to check?

the used gsr distributor i put on jus gave up but my old one that i replaced worked fine with an external msd coil...reason why i changed it was cuz the old one was a bootlegged ls distributor and i wantd to clean my motor up with a real gsr one so that everything loooks stock....

i tested the first spark plug wire...cap and rotor are brand new..jus put the gsr distributor in last week....

the question stands: does anyone know if the internal coil of the gsr and a sohc non vtec motor the same? if not i think i know my answer....thanks guyz for the replies

 

go out to napa or auto zone buy a coil put it in and if it's works then good it not return it. it's easy to put in. just screws.
