Ok I'll be driving along and my speedo will stop working,tach will start jumping around,and starts sputtering.I let off the gas it stops sputtering,or I mash the gas it stops sputtering,but the guages still go crazy.Any ideas?I rebuilt the distibutor and it solved my problem for a few days but its back again.I'm thinking the distibutor coil or ecu.Anybody experience this before?I need to drive this car 1200 miles 3 days from now.
Any and all help apreciated

 

I would suggest changing out either the coil and/or the ignitor and see if that helps your problems.

 

Thanks man I have a msd coil and cap I'm not using so I am going to try that today and I'll let you know the results

 

Check all your grounds just in case...

 

Not the Coil.The car just crapped out all together I now have a unusaly dim check engine light and a solid light onthe ecu (obd0 b16ecu)Anybody have a spare ecu in the Maryland area?

 

Are there any other ecu's that will work for my car that I won't have to change abunch of ****. crx obd0

Yes, CHECK ALL THE GROUNDS RIGHT AWAY! Problems such as gauges going wild and a constanly lit, but dim check engine light point directly to bad ground(s). Pay particular attention the ground on the thermostat housing and the grounds on the transmission and passenger side frame rail. I suspect something is either broken, corroded, or just loose. In fact, if you have done an engine swap, there is a most excellent chance that you did not properly tighten one of the ground screws.
