Hey guys, im getting a noise from my dizzy like a rattle snake/sprinkler..

anyone experience this? what is it most likely if anyone has a good guess, and how much is it to fix??

someone told me its the rotor and cap?? how much is that..

Im calling acura since i have full coverage warranty tommorow.. its quite possible that it wil be covered, cross your fingers ? iv had nothing but shitstreak this week.

 

i just got this problem on mine today ill try and find out and let you know

 

thanks alot brotha!

someone suggested i just replace the cap and rotor.. im waiting for my car to get back though so i can try it out.. its only like $25 worth of parts

I called acura, they told me the Distributor assembly unit is covered under warranty though.. so big plus for me! since I called an autoparts place and they said its $500 bucks.. huhh??

hope its just a cap and rotor.

 

I have a similar problem. My roommate, whom works for Honda, said that it could be the "bearing". I haven't confirmed this yet... I didn't even know they had bearings but check to see if you can hear the sound at the end of the intake cam. If so, then your problem is closer to mine. GL

 

ya man, it is in and around that area.

Can i damage anything if i dont replace it soon?? also.. I guess this means i need a brand new dizzy right?? If so, SCORE.. warranty.

 

Sounds like you guys might need new distributors.

 

Yea, I need a new dizzy. Mine has been doing this for about four months...no perceivable problems...

 

circuit, your idle isnt weird?? or your car doesnt feel choppy?

 

My hatch back in the day developed an odd sound at the distributor. I'm not sure if it sounded like a sprinkler, but it reminded me of robotic mice running around inside my distributor

Anyways, the distributor decided to crap out on the freeway shortly after. I ordered a Dking dizzy and was good to go a few days later.

 

dist housing bearings. Take it in if it's covered.

Foreseeable damage??? Heck yeah- if it gets bad enough, the dist could seize, skipping the timing belt some teeth and bending some valves. I've seen this a few times.

hey if you pop the dizzy cap off and see alot of brown dust, isnt that a sign that the bearings are going to fail?

anyways, to the OP...i have a 0bdII 01 gsr dizzy in minty condition if youre not covered by warranty and need one

 

^^ Hey bro, appreciate it!

I gotta get my car back from the shop, so i can take it to acura to see what they say..

But if you can PM me your location and asking price, id appreciate it!!! worst comes to worse, ill definetly buy it for sure.

 

did the rotor screw fall out?
