so my accord currently has a h22a motor in it and has a external coil, the dizzy i got is a internal coil.....I already know about crossing the wires at the coil, but it ran without doing that as long as i left the old external coil plugged in......Then it lost spark the other day, do u think i should cross the wires at the external coil, like i said the car ran perfect the way it was for months then lost spark.....Im thinking because the way i had a external and internal hooked up at the same time with the external capped off maybe it went bad and now isnt crossing the wires like it should?


This might be confusing the way i put it, but basically i still had the external coil pluged in with no wire running to the dizzy and never cut and spliced wires, and it ran fine that way for months

 

just to get some more backround and info, why did you have the external coil plugged in at all then?

 

just cause it ran like that so i figured y mess with it at all....

 

basically with the external coil plugged in it crosses the wires for you so why cut the harness and cross them? i was gonna get a dizzy that ran off a external coil thats why i didnt wanna cut them....Just short on cash right now to buy a new dizzy

 

what do you mean cross the wires?, why would you want to cross the wires?

 

to switch it from external coil to internal coil.....

 

you need to switch your external coil to an internal coil distributor. there is a write up on how to do so in the FAQ.

 

you dont need to buy a new dizzy. follow the faq. if you need a distributor cap you can use one off of a 98 civic sohc vtec
