I recently bought a 91 CRX HF w/ a d16a6. The other day the car stalled out while driving. I pulled the cap of the distrubitor and sure enough the screw that holds the rotor on came out. I also noticed a bunch of copper hairs inside the cap. The car is still running but the CEL is blinking code 9, which is the dizzy. Think its still ok to drive?

 

sounds like you need a new distributor

 

thats what i was afraid of. distrubutorking dizzy any good? Not looking to send a ton of money on a car I paid $400 for.

x2.....Them, or Honda. Dont mess with anything else.

 

here's a link to distributor repair http://www.angelfire.com/ca/Dr....html

i've been hearing that finding a quick replacement rotor on the distributor king's can be a hard, and some models you HAVE to get the rotor from DK.
but maybe its worth it for the price.

btw mention HT and you get a 3 year warranty on the distributor from DK instead of 1 year.

 

I just ordered a new distrubutor from DK not too bad of a price.

 

Bah. I had 2 spares. Could of sold you one for half the price.

 

Same thing happened to me with those copper strands.....lasted a while and eventually started to hesitate and threw a crank position sensor code. Swaped dizzy and it ran fine. Eventually i blew a piston ring and swapped to a B.
Been happy since
