Any ideas because I'm clueless when it comes to the dirstributor! Will i have to get a new one it can I change out the internals? It's been converted to obd1, I also heard taking of te distributor can throw off the timing? Is this true?


And I've also heard Thad a d series internals could work in he h series internals, any facts on this?

 

All grounds hooked up (not sure then use a jumper cable and hook to '-' battery to one of the ears on the distributor)?
Cap and rotor in good condition?

You could try using a different distributor or replacing internal parts (probably the ignitor has gone bad... maybe the coil - no way to tell), but I suggest you get a repair manual that shows how to troubleshoot the distributor before putting any money into it.

 

I checked that all the grounds are connected and I think it's the ignitor, because I had a test light and it's getting power, but I gues I need to go through my chilton Manuel and see what I can do

 

check timing belt

 

failing distributor. Finding parts is gonna be a Bi*&^

I found mine only at http://hondapartsnow.com

by coincidence, they sell all OEM parts, i didnt need USDM i needed JDm parts. But their digram helped me find it. I was WTFFF! =]

try it your self

 

Thanks man I will do! But I checked the timing and it was fine, but I didn't think the timing would cause it not to spark?

 

gonna try tomorrow and see where it gets me

 

anyone else heard about the internals"?

 

i know ignitors are universal between b-d series I've never had experience with h series though

 

tHanks for the imput man, but I'm just gonna go the safe route and get a brand new distributor

 

has the car been running or is this your first try to get it going?

If its been running before what happened when it started going out? (ex: jumping tach, intermittent starting, etc.)

It takes alot longer for the distributor itself to go out and it will normally throw codes if thats the problem. If your not getting codes its more than likely one or some of the internals (ignitor, coil, cap and rotor)

If the car has not been running have your verified the disributor is getting power? maybe wrong wiring on the jumper for obd1


I would check all this before you get a whole new distributor unless your just tired of messing with it. You can buy all the internals from autozone for fairly cheap although I would be sure the part is the problem before spending money on it

 

and FYI ignitors are the same from b-d-h series. Coils and caps are not. I Just checked

 

she lives

 

And you got that crazy long tube header - love the way that thing looks!

 

yessir!, its the kidd racing one
