Default h22 problems

92 jdm h22a, 70k miles..... just cant figure out what is causing my problem now..... was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction... car drives fine, and will idles fine at times, and then all of the sudden the idles gets loopy and the car has trouble starting, sometimes wont start at all until cold, ive replaced the fuel pump relay, even soldered it, and tested voltage, ive never been able to check the pressure when it happens unfortunately, anyone think this could be fuel related or somewhere else?

What distributor do you have on the car? OEM?

I'd try swapping out the coil (it's external coil, right?) and ignitor in the distributor with known-working units. I had a distributor once (not OEM) that caused the car to stop running when it warmed up, after about 10 minutes on track.

it sounds like ignition problem. mostly likely coil or distributor.

friend bought a dizzy from them for his d16 turbo civic and it did the EXACT same thing, so he had to go back to OEM. stay oem with the dizzys.
