Ok, we cant figure out my friends car-90 hatch con from dpfi-mpfi-thats all good but the ZC is having trouble-It just died and its not getting any spark-we replaced ll the internals on the dizzy w/d16a1 parts-mistake?would we use d16a6 parts-jdm zc dizzy-that and the car is not throwing a CEL-but i ran n ecu check...code 5-10-20-could this spawn from a fried ecu-its a pm6 si ecu-we used si w/ on the swap-what could it be-dizzy internals.....fried ecu......ne1 w/similar probs lmk asap so we can get rolling....

 

NE1!?!

 

help....

 

NE1?

 

Do you have afriend with a ZC, if so swap the entire distributor. I have replaced the major components and still had no spark. New dist and all was good. The dist from an 88-89 Integra will work also.

 

But the dizzy checked out fine....I guess we could try and use my dizzy and ecu.....still trying

 

Is there power to the black and yellow wire (bigger) at the distributer when the ignition is on. The main relay also sends power to the ecu and fuel pump. Is there power at the ECU?

 

Theres power at all connections-tried another ecu and nothing-TIME TO REPLACE THE WHOLE DIZZY....see what happens.....grrr

 

NE Help....

 

Did the tach start acting weird, unstable, just before it failed? I have seen the bearings go bad and shake the electronics apart (internal shorts/open circuits). Have you tried a complete Dist swap with a running ZC? That has been the only way i have fixed mine. All the old dist components check out fine but it still would not fire. New Dist, Problem gone! Put old one back in an it did not run. Again I thoroughly checked all the individual components. It appeared good!
