Default Did Distributor King send me the wrong Dizzy?

Hey guys this is the deal. I recently swapped in a Dohc ZC into my 90 hatch Si to replace the blown ZC that had been put in by the previous owner.

He did not repin the connector but rather hardwired them directly to eachother and it seemed to work until the dizzy started to go bad. So i took out the old one and noticed that this dizzy had two white wires and some peach ones too when i removed it.

Well i ordered a 88-89 integra dizzy from DK and this one has some blue wires and a green/yellow wire in place of a white wire that the old dizzy had. The dizzy is labeled TD-03.

Is this the right dizzy?? Car wont start, i even followed the wiring diagram i got off of thezcr.com and h-t.

Could jumpingthe battery fry an ecu?? I had to jump start my car a while back because the battery died.

I ordered the same dizzy from them last week and it has'nt arrived yet. Since the wiring colors on the DK one are different, you're gonna have to rely on pin placement on the dizzy. Since the previous owner cut the engine harness of, it's gonna require more work.

Did you call them to confirm with them? That should be step one.

I'd suggest junkyard and hack a set of plugs off that work for the dizzy.... then get a Helms and use the wiring guide to repin the plugs into your harness.

Or just get a new engine bay harness.

kool, thanks for all the help everyone.

Sorry to hear about the name thing.

It really does take some effort to read the crap he types up.

oh before i forget. Ive tried the wiring diagram that i found on thezcr.com, why would this one not work for me?? Im esentially doing the same thing, im just bypassing the plugs. I dont want to fry the dizzy either.

BTW how would you be able to tell if the dizzy is fried? I opened it up and everything looked and smelled A OK.

autozone can test your ICM if you take it to them, and you should be able to test the coil with a multimeter. i vote for going to the junkyard and cut your own plugs or contact rywire.com and see if you can buy just the plugs so that you don't run into this problem again.

Did you get this fixed?

My DK dizzy came in today, plugged it in and it worked great.

If need be, I can tell you what DK wiring corresponds with your engine wiring.

Let me know man.
