so i cant win with ignition systems. I am yet to have a dizzy that works 100% right since i bought the car.

But now the car is sputtering while driving and is worse around 5k rpms. I mean I can still nail the gas in 2nd gear and it will sputter here and there till redline.

But Im thinking it wouldn't make sense that the wires or plugs could be at fault since the car idles fine and drives normal? I might be way wrong....I haven't had a chance to go out and buy new plugs yet.

Im thinking its prolly the dizzy. I might meet up with Ed tomorrow and grab his dizzy real fast to see if thats the problem, but the engine sounds fine, so my issues should be limited to the dizzy, wires, and plugs yes?

 

My buddy had the same problem... dont know exactly what he did but i think it was a bad ground.

 

i dont think a bad ground would make the engine sputter like that...though I could be wrong

You'd be surprised. What are the miles on this dizzy? Have you busted out the helms to check the primary and secondary coils? The coils will be intermitent like that, then eventually fail.

 

What are you using for cap, rotor, and wires? (OEM etc...original...)

 

its all OEM...as for miles not sure. Its off another honda, I just re-pinned it to work with the R. I didn't check the coils..not real big on dizzy knowledge haha. I am going to swap out dizzys wednesday to see if thats the problem.

 

Re pinned what? The dizzy? what is it off of? (engine)

 

yea i had to splice into the wires and re-pin the dizzy....not sure which model its off of, but I bought it from a buddy of mine who works at Honda. I know he didn't try and screw me, the dizzy should work ok...

 

Check the Thermostat housing ground....most important ground on the car.
