I'm not going to get into every modification I've done to the car but I've replaced everything electrical that would cause the car to do what it's doing.

From day one when I turn the key it fires right up and 2 seconds later shuts right back down. If I grab the gas and hold the throttle at 3000 rpms until it's at full temp it's fine but hesitates at partial throttle. I've replaced the main relay, coil, redid all my grounds with 4 gauge, bought new MSD wires and so forth. Only thing I haven't tried to replace is the igniter, seems like the spark is weak, especially on cylinder 3 since I spit on the header from each cylinder and 3 is cooler. Does it sound like the dizzy or igniter is toast. Thing is I pulled the cap off and the rotor was toasted and the cap had burn marks on the metal terminals inside. I replaced the cap and rotor but it didn't fix it. Any comments welcome, if you need more specific details just ask!

 

do u know if #3 is firing? did a compression test or leakdown test? what is it tuned with. stock injectors or not?

 

It's just really a startup problem, it hesitates a bit and it's making the same sound that my wifes integra was when she lost her dizzy. It's a type sh so I don't have much tuning options. I'm not trying to break any records with the build simply trying to get this stalling 2 seconds after it's started taken care of! I've got RC Engineering 440cc saturated injectors. It's not fuel related whatsoever I'm sure of that! Fuel pressure is set at about 38 psi and no fuel has been added or taken away with the vafc. I made the mistake of buying an SH and truely don't really want to lose the atts, I know much more power could be made with neptune, ems, or hondata but I haven't convinced myself yet to go that route. I know it's ignition related because it bumbles around and you can hear the cylinders not firing right until it the motor gets hot enough to fire! I think it's the igniter especially since I'm not getting code 43 anymore since I put the new injectors in.

Here's a lil vid to help you guys diagnose the stumble. Please help me get this fixed, it's the only thing holding me back from getting it tuned to lean out the air fuel from being a little to rich! First time the car had been started in almost a year last night and this is after I grabbed the gas and warmed it up enough for it to idle perfect! Simply has to be the igniter everything else in the dang thing is brand new! Tell me what you think of my ride, be honest !

No one on here has ever experienced a dizzy or igniter failure? The symptoms have to be somewhat related!
