Well to start off the car has been running a little rough since i just picked it up, but it felt like bad gas from the car sitting for 6 months. Therefore i filled up with 93octane and let it run for about a half hour and then it started to sound like it was missing. So i pulled the plugs and they looked like i was actually running a little lean, so i replaced them. It then just died at a stop sign and i had to push it to my friends house (really fun). After trying to start it some more i pulled the plugs and there was plenty of fuel getting in but i then tested the plugs and wasnt getting any kind of spark.

So i took the cap of the dizzy and it looked a little white inside of it and smelled like it was burning a little bit. Now how can i tell if its bad or how can i clean it and try it again? Or could it be someting else?

(the car is a 90 civic si with a B16 OBD-0)

 

Bump....

the dizzy on the car looks to be fried, its also stamped as TC-05A, i dont even know what car that came off of but i thought that the Dizzy for the b16a1 obd-0 should be TD-22U

someone help me out here....

 

I've read at a couple different places that a Teg distributor will work but you have to knock one of the legs off but I put "TC-05A" in Google and it came back with a CRX?
Good place for a replacement is Distributor King: http://stores.ebay.com/DISTRIB...QtZkm
