I receintly acquired a 91 hatch Si, it ran fine for a while, it actually came all the way from New Hampshire to Florida with no problems. A couple of weeks ago the car wouldn't start, I checked for spark at there was none. I replaced distributor cap and rotor and nothing, so I went ahead and replaced the distributor. Now it is running fine. I noticed that the old distributor had a burned part and I am wondering if there is something else that I need to change that might be causing the distributor to fail.

I was told by a mechanic that probably my main relay is bad, do you guys think that is correct???

Feedback is greatly appreciated

 

Could've been the ignition module

 

where is it located?

 

bump, my car wont start either, this might be the problem because it has a new dizzy. thanx for the thread

 

Anybody else willing to contribute with supperior knowledge?

 

my car still has the same problem, but i replaced the ignition module and coil, so it cant be that, but the ignition timing is off almost 15 degrees. i think it might be an open wire from the igition module to the ecu, because the ecu is suppose to adjust the timing automaticaly through the module.
