My ECU is throwing a code 9 so i looked around on honda tech and i was told to a get new distributor. So I went to Continental Acura of Lisle too make sure that i needed a new distributor and they told me the same thing. That same day(i think it was the Dec. 23rd) we had a new Distributor ordered for my R and its still not here so i went back to Acura yesterday and they said that my Distributor is on some back order and the 1st distributor into the country would be mine. Should the wait for a distributor take this long? How much does the whole thing cost cuz Acura charged me $340 for a brand new one.

 

dude i thought you got this taken care of already?? how was laser taggin by the way

 

couldn't go cuz my dad was all pissed about my R gettin hit the night before. some drunk kids tapped my bumper and hes ain't too happy and the damn distributor being late as hell making him more mad and ****. The R is costing a shitload.

 

having an r needs patience.. you've seen what my car has gone through.. its just being patient.. and when the hell did you get into another accident>??????

 

Distributor king I'm sure has them cheaper.

or pick up a used one off of here..

 

There's a 28k obd-2 GSR on ebay for 180 buy it now. A little pricey, but just to show that they are out there.

 

When my distributor crapped out, I ended up getting one from Len @ Baranco for much less than the dealer wanted. I re-used my ignitor, saving ~$100 too as opposed to getting a fully loaded distributor (assembly, ignitor, cap & rotor). I don't belive I spent more than 210 for my bare distributor.

I know Len isn't selling anymore but others on the board are selling OEM parts at a discount. If you've got to wait because they're on back order, you might as well get it cheaper! Shipping is likely much cheaper than sales tax too.

 

Distributor King -

Their distributors are AWESOME - and so is their price and service!

incorrect. len is still selling parts.. the problem he had at Baranco was apparently resolved.. bert-o can do the same, though..

backorder is backorder though.. unless they happen to have one, they probably can't get it any faster than any other dealer..

 

I saw Distributor kind and i think they had the obd2 for like 285 if i'm not correct but my dad put just decide to take it to Acura and have them fix the problem. I looked around honda and i saw the distributer off the GS-R and i did post the guy but he never post me back. i thought it was sold already. I don't understand why Acura didn't just replace the cracked rotor. but i guess its best to replace the whole thing to make sure i don't have distributor problems in the future.
