89 CRX D15B2 ran great then just didn't want to start one morning. Tracked it down to a bad ignition coil. Replace it and it started right up. Put a few hundred miles on it and now it's blown that coil as well. New dizzy cap and wires a few thousand miles ago. The only thing I could find was the + battery terminal was only hand tight but the car still cranked fine so I ruled that out.
Any ideas?

 

It may have been a bad ground after all. The - battery terminal was questionable. Replacing both battery terminals and the coil. With luck, it won't blow this one.
I was able to source a 1.6 fully loaded Vtec head with intake, all the sensors, dizzy and throttle body today. It has everything I need to do the Mini-Me. Now all I need is the ECU, timing belt and head gasket.
I still have to replace the coil because that's cheaper than a tow truck.

 

a bad ignitor will kill a coil and vise versa. You need to replace both.

 

Will do and thanks!

 

Also, "ONLY run Factory HONDA cap and rotor.... Aftermarket will fry the ignitor or coil. Never run Bosch products on your Honda".
