i tried turning over my car the other day and it wouldn't turn over. i took a voltage meter to the coil and i wasn't getting any power to it so then i put on another dizzy and same thing it would turn over .so i am assuming that this is a problem in my wiring or could it be that both the the dizzys are shot? or could i have a short somewhere in the harness?

 

check fuses.

 

already did and they are all good

 

replace the coil and ignitor....if it's not one of those, and you've checked all of your fuses, then you better charge your battery.

 

battery is brand new like not even a week old

 

are you sure the coil and ignitor are ok?

here is a simple test to test the icm and coil unless your loaded with tons of money like this guy.

 

very little money working at a minimum wage job...thanx for the info

 

any time i hope this puts you in a direction of repair. i see a lot of people on here post for a problem withthe shot gun fix just replace everything and if that does not work then check this and that . im sure they dont work on these for a living.

 

yea i pretty much wanna get to the bottom of this with minimum money spent.and i want to know what was the actual problem rathier then replaceing everything and never knowing.

 

well put i make no claim i no everything as im still learning all the time and very open to learn more. but since your car is stock from what i can see this is very basic and will provide you with more info if needed .

Testing the coil and ignitor go without saying. But if you have enough parts laying around (I believe there are 13 distributors at my house) Then it is sometimes easier to just try a different coil or ignitor. And btw n00b, I have made my living working as a honda mechanic.

 

well would a z6 coil and IMC work in a dx dizzy? prolly not but just wondering

ummm...just a question....how did you go about checking your fuses???

 

voltage meter also pulled them out to make sure none of the legs had snapped off

 

btw i tried two completly diffrent dizzy's. the first one is a dx dizzy and the other was a z6 dizzy. what is the probelity that both IMC's are shot in these?

i see but you were telling the guy to replace it and if it didnt start then charge the battery ?? not sure what that is going to do it the battery is charged and turning over. do you still work for a dealer?. or some shop that throws parts at cars and hope it fixes them

 

i work for your mom, she pays better.
