Ok folks. I'm new to honda vehicles. I grew up riding Honda motorcycles which, IMO are the best bikes on the road to date. My son (1stLSDA) easily convinced me to get a honda, because i needed something that gets better fuel mileage than the Grand Cherokee i had (14mpg on a good day). Well, we got a 95 Accod with 2.7 V6 and auto tranny. The car runs good so long as the Tach is working the way its supposed to. When the tach acts up, i have to get the car up to hwy speeds before it will run half way decent. He told me that MABEY the distributor could cause this issue. He and I are both used to our muscle car V8's (chevy and mopar to be specific). so, the computer opperations on the Honda is a whole new world to us. If anyone can help point me in the right direction, we would greatly appreciate it.

 

Welcome aboard dad!

 

If the tach is acting up, I'd start with testing the ICM (Ignition Control Module).

 

Where is it?

 

Inside the dist......aka ignitor....#6 in this pic

Can't remember is these have the "cover" under the rotor or not. When inspecting/testing, check the wires connecting to it to be sure they are clean and tight.

 

To add, the reason this is #1 in my list of testing, the tach gets its signal from here.....blue wire I think, sorry to lazy to look up the exact wire color.

 

Thanks for the help
