Hello,
I am converting my CRX to obd1. I got a obd1 distributor from a 1994 accord. looked like a civic one to me. It mounts up to the block and I plugged it all in with my wire harness.
(I also have an ECU harness to run a p05 ecu...)
The car would not start. It turned over very unusually almost like the battery was dead, when it was fully charged.
I reverted back to obd0 and it fired right up and turned over normally again.

Basically, my question is: will a obd1 accord dizzy work for a d16 civic, or is it giving me these issues?? thanks!!

 

I assume you used a conversion harness for the dizzy and used the P05 with a harness?

 

update- the distributor grounds out against the head. yes i used a conversion harness. the distributor plugged in and mounted fine but short circuits everything.. would not recommend.

 

it doesn't work because an accord uses an external coil. so your not getting power to the plugs
