I have a 93 lx. I have checked the main relay and it's ok. I have checked the cam and timing marks, they're good. I have replaced the coil as well. It appears there isn't a spark coming from the coil. I tested the wire from coil to distributor & it's ok. Tested some of the wires inside distributor for voltage and they read 12 volts. Distributor is spinning while cranking. Any ideas?

 

igniter

 

Are you referring to the ignotioin? I was wondering if there was a possibility the modules inside the distributor died and there was an accurate way test.

 

It happen a few years ago on my car. The igniter fail inside the distributor. This seems to be the most common problem with the car. Mine fails at around 190K miles. I cost around $75-100.

I forgot but the check engine light show some code. You have to jump a jumper and check the code.

 

Honda prescribes diagnostic procedures which involve a chart (trouble tree) voltage tables and a multimeter. It's available in the Honda Service Manual (you may be able to find this online somewhere).
It's pretty much a process of elimination.
For us old farts out here, there's an easier test; grab the known good one out of the tool box's top drawer and install it..........

When this happens, there can be several causes:
Ignitor
Wiring / connectors
TDC Sensor
Coil.

I've listed them by rate of observable failure rate.
The ignitor is the culprit 90% of the time.

Thanks for the info... I wil try the igniter.
