Im having ignition problems running car with msd. I was told by an old wise man to completely remove the ignitor from the distributor and run wires right to the external coil? Has anybody ever done this before.thanks....

 

ignitor or coil?

 

from what i remmeber of mien the ignitor still stays in there, you just disconnect the wires fromt he coil and wire from the ignitor box where the stock coil connected to , to the new coil . . . dunno if that makes sense the way im explaining it

 

So the ignitor stays in the distributor? But where do I connect the the four wires that come out of the ignitor? I just dont want to spend 217.00 on an ignitor if I dont have to. thanks

 

the only thing you take off the ignitor is the wires to the stock coil , and where they were you replace with the wires to the new coil. they run outside of the cap, i think you need a 12v ig wire coming out from there too .
im pretty positive im righ,t but its been a while, the instructions werent clear from MSD thi was the step that took me some time too until i figured it out and freaked me out cuz i blew a fuse and thought i fucked sometihng up .
I hate wiring igntions. deff not fun , best of luck to you.
When in doubt call MSD.

 

Mds sucks for daily drives.. problems....


I loved mine when it worked though.

 

Ya wiring sucks ***, Thanks for all your help I called msd [mad stupid dipshits] they kept switching me from person to person I got pissed off and stopped talking to them.Thanks again.... jimi

 

Its bad for daily driving? Have you ever had a rev limit at 4500 I cant get past, It just doesent go any higher. Thats why im guessing that it is the ignitor.

 

A good tip .. If you drive a honda, Dont mess with your ignition or fuel system unless it is nessary that you make a mod.

Go back to stock

 

mine never gives me probs and thjeres nothing orig left in the car

 

I thought that stock ignition was good for 250hp .. Is that true?

 

stock ignition is good upto like 400hp. i chose to swpa mine out when i was udng nitruos

 

whats up Jimmy?, I think they mean the coil, not the ignitor... and his car has the mods for an msd btm, its turbo.<itr206> so you took the msd out for the turbo?

 

why would i take it out for turbo?
its in , its never coming out.

 

hELLO sVEN, Must be nice to sit home on a Friday playing on honda-tech maybe you should CALL THE DRIVE INN......R u cleaning your R
