Default Need a new Civic ingition module.

Can anyone advise me, where to buy online some quality ingition module for my 1990 Civic. I bought a piece of **** over e-bay one year ago, and now the car started to turn off during driving (I kwon that ignition module is the problem). So, please, anyone?

I did had a similar problem this past summer and i fixed it myself. It was the metal contact were arcing and had dead spots. So i took off my steering wheel cover. un screwed the ingition module from the key cylinder. Took off the white plastic cap, took some sand paper and very carefully a dremel and made the contact shiny again. Added dialectric grease to it so it will never happen again. Problem solved, no issues since. When it happend to me, the car would not start or if it did, eventually i had smoke from behind my steering wheel because the wires were shorting out and becomming very very hot.

or replace the hole harness. I think i found it for $50 from a store but never bought it, i fixed it before hand.

No, I think there is a problem with ignition module, because when the car started to go off in the middle of driving, I replaced my distributor with a friend's one, and after that the car is running smoothly and it never turned off again on the road. So, it is ignition module or ignition coil inside the distributor

Any more links are more then wellcome....where to order ignition module online (they must shipp it to Croatia, Europe).
