ok so i put the correct dizzy on and it seems at idle the timing is fine i checked it with a timing gun but then when i rev it up it starts missing not to bad anymore but its like bogging out or missing when i hold it higher in the revs around 3000 or so any suggestions

 

bump need help

 

not enough spark? timing slightly off... I would take the rotor off, adjust the crank TDC, put the rotor back on, double check firing order and go from there, if it still does it then its probably the coil and or the ignitor, happened to me twice, I replaced the ignitor and put a MSD external set up, fine now...ummm also after you adjust all that, pull a spark plug from #1 pug it in the plug wire and let it touch frame or metal, i wouldnt hold it, and either have some one crank or your self and check how weak the spark is, easier with 2 people.

 

so if the spark plugs are old and the gas is over a year old ???

 

good chance, I would try what I suggested first, then if your getting weak spark start with plugs,plug wires, cap and rotor...if its still doing it then replace the coil and ignitor at the same time,if it still doing it maybe ur injectors are clogged.

 

ok ill change the plugs the wires are brand new denso ones from autozone or watever and i just picked up the dizzy from someone here on honda-tech

 

and how would i unclog the injecotrs

 

injector cleaner

 

sounds like a slight misfire... change plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor.

 

how would i check my ignitor and coil to see if its my dizzy thats messing up

 

and my o2 sensor wasnt in yet

 

id check all plug wires or even the coil wire.

 

lol I thnk this thread cursed me, now my car is acting up AGAIN! now when I drive the car misfires and the tach jumps around like crazy, I think its time for a new dizzy, that or the MSD wires are touching each other for the negative and positive of the coil, didnt mean to thread jack, thinking out loud.

 

bump on the checking your coil and ignitor? how do you?

 

ok so i went a messed with it changed the plugs the wires are new and opened up the dizzy and fixed a bent spring with a new one and hes wat is happening, it fires up and idles fine now when the throttle position sensor is plugged in it started to misfire with any throttle at all, with it unplugged it goes fine until about 2500 to 300 rpms then it will start to misfire and like run like **** and it sounds bad under the valve cover when it starts doin that i need this car to work and im so over it ive tried everything would it still be the ignitor

 

did you convert to MPFI? maybe you have some wires crossed up, and on the TPS did you switch the 2 outside wires around? this could also cause misfire, are you getting any codes on the ecu? ummm it still sounds like a spark issue, it could be the ignitor, I been there so I would try it and make sure u leave ur dizzy TDC, so u know ur not detonating from too much advance or retard.

 

sry this is my first honda ill try and change the dizzy and see wat happens wats tdc though, this is my first honda by the way

 

and i had a harness made for me it was an obd0 to obd1 and mpfi harness i didnt touch the outside wires on the sensor like i said it seems to run fine until i get past 2500 or 300 rpms then it starts to come on more heavy the more i rev up

 

ok and lemme say this when the throttle position sensors is plugged in right when i turn the car on and i try and give it gas it will do that right away if i leav it off and rev it up it doenst start till around 3000 rpms if i put it back on then it still only does it around 3000 rpms but when i start the car with it on it does it as soon as you give it gas

 

bump for help

 

help

 

where would i buy an ignitor

 

auto parts store

 

i dont see em on autozones website

 

it might also be called an ignition control module

look under dist parts or ign parts
