Searched everything, not really sure whats going on, i was driving on the highway and all of a sudden the car started to bog and i had no power, smelled fuel so i pulled over, car was smoking, come to find out i blew a fuel injector. I took off the head and replaced the head gasket before i found out it was a fuel injector though, i replaced all of the fuel injectors and car was running but not very well, started the car and got it timed but it was still running rough, then i realized i didn't jump the service connector to short the ECU when adjusting timing, The belt and cam gears are timed right because i checked them three times to make sure. When i went to warm up the car so i could redo to ignition timing i started it and then came up here to check honda-tech, when i went back downstairs the car was shut off, hasn't started since, i think it might be my igntion control module or my coil, is it possible that they just happen to go at the same time as my fuel injectors or is it somehow related, i've read everything on both subjects and i tknow that i blew the fuel injectors cause i was running to high of a fuel pressure, i just pulled the plugs out and they were soaked with fuel, am letting them dry and then i will try to start the car again. Engine cranks and fuel pump works coil is getting power just no spark. So im pretty sure its either the ignitor or coil or fouled plugs causing the no start. Just thought it was wierd that i had both a fuel injector go and the ignitor and coil is this just ironic??
When i test drove the car for about 2 minutes when it was running it seemed like it was running on 3 cylinders or misfiring it had no power at all

hrmm... how long have you had your swap in? and did this problem just happen out of the blue? Do you have your stock igniton and coil or did you upgrade to MSD etc... ?

 

Swap is three years old almost, haha it worked fine until two weeks ago. Did regular matenance on it always. Its stock Dizzy coil ignitor ect. Yeah everything is outta the blue like all of a sudden, i checked all fuses and grounds which in gonna recheck again for the 3rd time, im going to see if i can pick up an icm and coil from a junk yard just to see if thats the problem.

holy **** that is exactly the same ordeal i just went through turned out my igniter was bad first. then i replaced that then like 4 days later, my car started idling rough as hell and boggy and it turned out to be my coil. Later i found out that usually once a coil or igniter goes bad, it will affect the other.

 

thanx thats what i think it is u am going to try and replace both i'll let you know how it turns out.

 

replaced the coil and the car runs now. It just has a um bumpy idle, not like the idle jumps or anything its just sorta rough, and the car has no power like its bogging out when i try to drive it. fuel pressure is at 43psi going to check grounds and also plugs tomorrow. Also checking vacum lines

 

when your module goes out it realy affects the ride of the engine... normaly at realy low rpms its fine but it drives rough on higher rpms...like 3k and higher. ignitors and coils just go out at the snap of the finger...modules slowly deteriate...if the performance is slowly reduceing check your module and have it replaced
