Default Re: Check engine light help

I just had a code 15 (dizzy code for "Ignition output signal") that caused heavy misfire...that was in an almost new dizzy.

I replaced it with a junkyard dizzy. That solved the code 15 misfiring, but gave me code 8 and something like limpmode revlimiter.

I replaced it with another used dizzy, which was known to be good. Now the car runs perfect. Both of the other dizzy's cause the same code/issue in my other car.

Basically, in my case, the code is in the dizzy and replacing the dizzy fixed it. You can find Factory Service Manuals at hondatech.info if you want to perform diagnostic testing on your dizzy, but I have read in the recent past that the tdc is INSIDE the dizzy and "only fix is to replace."

If you just replaced it, check for broken/disconnected wires or try to exchange it under warranty.
