Ok....I recently cleaned my engine compartment on my b16......

Well, a day later, and it runs VERY BAD!! Bogging badly.

Anyways, the cap, rotor, ignition coil, and plugs are brand new. And I checked the timing with my timing light, and I noticed soemthing....

When I held the motor at 2 or 3k rpms..... the plugs where miss firing! Not all the time, but kinda at random.

What do yall think the problem is ? And if yall think it is the ignitor, where is that located ?

 

WOAGGhh.....I hope it isn't the ignitor.....that stupid thing is $150 at autozone !!!!

 

i have same problem also but i discovered water got down into the spark plugs start there but mines still bogging people are telling me i need a tune up on the ingnitoin system does your motor start up good from cold

 

yes...starts good....idles fairly goods too....but when I rev or decelerate....I misses.

I hope it is just water, I can't really afford the 150 dollars for a new ignition module thingy !!!

anyone got a sure fire way of knowing if it is the ignitior/ignition module ?

 

bump !......

I checked the plugs, and they were black....I sandpapered them and it runs a little better now, but it still misses fire like before.

 

I have a brand new ignitor for a B16A2 laying in my garage. I bought it a while back thinking my ignitor went bad, when in fact was a connection on my MSD. If you still need one, let me know, I'll sell it to you for cheaper than the one from Autozone. By the way, I bought mine straight from the Honda dealership. Still in the bag with paperwork. Good luck!

 

yeah when it comes 2 buying parts 4 your motor either go oem or high performance

 

Try checking the inside of the distributor cap for moisture.

 

oK...Ignitor being 145 dollars.....and a whole new distributor being 174 dollars.....wonder which one I'll have to go with.

God, I hope this fixes it !?!?!
