alright i just tested the coil by taking off a spark plug wire and plugging it into the tower under the distributor cap. I then put the other end on a spark plug and laid it on my valve cover. I put a wire from the neg. of the coil and touched the other side to ground. The wire sparked from the neg. to where i grounded it , but the spark plug just sat there on the valve cover. So I guess the coil's burnt out right?.....is there anything i should look into before buying one?.....and do I buy OEM or will autozone be fine.....or possibly a used one?

 

As far as electrical goes, OEM Honda parts are the only way to go. It's not cheap either.

 

Honda dizzy's go all the time...mine went 2 weeks ago

 

MY CAR Still will not start. I got a used coil from arunto he said was used for about 1k miles. .........Same ol ****......anyone able to lead me in the right direction....the only thing i notice is that when I try to crank it and then turn the key off the engine gives a little kick. It kicks back and shakes the car....i have no clue what it could be......is it time for me to take this thing in?

 

think i'm just goin to look at the ignitor now.....any other clues?

 

Is your timing belt broken? You said you do have fuel pressure rite.

 

i had the same problem and i replaced my alternator and what i found out was that my rotor in my dizzy came loose or sumthin and also at the same time for some reason the ecu or sumthin that tells the #1 injector to spray wasnt. get those checked.

I'm gonna check the ignitor......my rotor is fine.....not sure how your ECU did that....i don't have a conversion harness for the one that came with the swap......but i'm pretty sure my ECU isn't bad

 

Check your start.

we've already figured out that the motor cranks.

 

after being gone for a week visiting friends at a few campuses.....got home and put the ignitor in that i got.......and p ut on some OEM spark plugs....and she started and died...then started it up.......ran like **** for a min cause i prolly had it flooded.......and then i revved her up.......people in my complex are prolly pissed that the dam thing prolly started tks to everyone that put forth some input

 

glad to see its done

 

wow.....it feels good lol....now if only I could get the occasional RPM stick figured out.......someone mentioned something awhile ago about the IACV screen being clogged up or somethin.........any insight on this?.....As I accelerate through 1st it'll stick between 3-4k and i'm forced to shift into 2nd.....and then it occasionally does it in 2nd....so I head to 3rd...but as soon as I downshift to 2nd...it takes off......but i will suggest not trading your hatchie for a 2000 malibu...just not the same lol
