i have a crx with a JDM B16A as you all no the dizzys suck ha... well i just put a new dizzy in and now the damn tack is not working what would it be any help would be good im just a dumb body guy thanks a lot

 

Is it possible you dislodged the speedo cable from the tranny housing? Its possible while your unbolting the dizzy, especially if you removed the battery and intake tube.

 

the speedo cable has nothing at all to do with the tach... im guessing if it happend when you changed the dizzy that there is somethin wrong with it or maybe some wires got pinched or somethin... gotta be something along those lines...

 

hey thanks would you no what wires to look at

 

My bad!!

 

its cool dude... nobody knows everything and its def a logical question to ask if u dont know... but as for the wires im pretty sure the green and white one on the dizzy are for the tach but not sure lemme check ill get back to you

 

I would say its somewhere in the dizzy, cause your vtec runs off your dizzy also, My boys gsr dizzy started messing us and vtec didnt kick hard along with the tach, the tach sarted to flicker.

 

this is the wiring chart for the dizzy clips... i was wrong about the green and white wires lol... and idk what wire is for the tach.. but either way the cilps from the dizzy include a wire for the tach... this i know... so just make sure none of them are pinched anywhere... that about all i can say i dont know much about the dizzy itself except that they go bad and how to replace its parts...

 

tach is always the solid blue wire

 

It's very likely that the ignitor in your new distributor is bad. I've had a few brand new ignitors come straight out of the box with the tach output signal not functioning.

 

yea those aftermarket dizzy's have all types of problems all the time... i hate them... i would just go buy one straight from honda...

 

take off the cap and look at the igniter and check if the blue wire came off the igniter there should be 4 wires i think and the rpm wire witch is blue should be on the side of the igniter right next to the coil

 

hey thanks a lot you guys it was the igniter i took the igniter out of my out one and everything is working fine ha its nice to no what rpm your at agein
