ok here it goes, i'm getting missfire between 2-3k rpms usually only in like 1st or 2nd gear. I've replaced the rotor and the cap plugs are new as well as the wires. Ive set the timing with a light and that doesnt seem to help at all. it only seems to do this when it gets hot as well.. think I may need a new dizzy?

 

anyone?

 

Check all connections to the ICM in the distributor. Verify they are all tight.

 

done that already

 

Do you have access to another known good ICM and coil?

 

i'm actually going to try that tomorrow.. a friend of the guy i live with dropped off his civic. he spun a rod bearing and i'm doing the work on it for him.. ill just yank the dizzy out of it and see if that solves the prob.. if it doesnt ill be scratching my head..

 

LMK

 

ok... i feel like a dumbass.. the dizzy plugs are diff so I couldnt try it, BUT he had better plug wires on his car so I thought I'd give it a go.. so... I went and bought me a set of accel plug wires and it runs great.. guess mine wern't all that great.

 

yeh i bought a set of brand new wires on ebay, they said they were high performance or some bullshit, after like 3 months, they failed and i didn't suspect it

now i bought some belkin OEM replacement ones, runs perfect

Good stuff. When the plug wires were starting to go on my 1.6EL I didn't notice until I changed them out for the MSD's. I noticed a huge difference in power when entering onto the highway and about 150km more per tank! You'll notice the fuel mileage increase too.

 

yeah i noticed a slight power difference.. I havent taken it on the hwy yet though.
