I have a 96' Prelude V-tec and my icm keeps going out. I brought it to a mechanic they replaced the icm and I've replaced it 2 times after that. Any suggestions on what could cause this? I checked the coil the secondary winding has 17.81k ohms, the primary winding shows 0.00 that doesnt seem right but I pulled the coil off my other lude and same thing is it possible that both coils are bad? I checked the coil wire thats fine, I have a new cap, rotor, Wires and plugs. I did continuity check everything seemed fine nothing is shorted to ground. Only thing I didnt check was the wire going to the tach but would that cause any problems??? I dont have a clue can someone help?

 

0.00 would burn out a ICM.

what kind of meter are you using?

it is possible that both coils are bad.

 

craftsman digital multimeter. So you think it would be worth it to go and get a coil and another icm??

 

I would get new ones. if one fixes the issue return the other.

 

I went and bought another coil and they all check out the same. i replaced the icm a 3rd time and it fires right up but itll end up burning out again and i still cant figure out what the prob is. Anyone have any ideas?

 

Bump because i may be having this problem too. Its not a prelude though its a civic. I've replaced it twice, last time 3 months ago. I;m getting signs of a faulty ICM once again. If there is something wrong in my electrical/ignition system which is causing this, what could it be? I'm an idiot when it comes to electronics.

 

both of you guys should just buy new distributors from distributor king. These things go out a lot i've also had 3 of them go out.

Need new dizzy
