Ignition output signal.... ignitor or coil... possibly just wiring, but if the car has bee driving fine... more then likely dizzy is shot. Get a known good one and swap it to see if that clears the problem. Dont forget to reset the ecu.

well, you have alot of options on where to get a distributor. A brand new OEM Honda one is about 500-700$ from the dealer. Distributor King has them online for about 200-250ish. Get one used on here for around 75-100$. Get one from a Pull-It-Yourself place for like 30$.

Autozone has remans too... they usually suck though. I try to not get anything from Autozone unless it is a last resort type deal. Napa or Autovalue is where I typically get **** from.

no you need to get either a new ignitor or coil. It is inside the dizzy.

Your only option for a new OBD0 b16a distributor is distributor king. Otherwise you will need to get a used on or get a 90-91 integra distributor and hack a leg or two off of the body to get it to mount to the b16a head properly. My suggestion is to purchase one from distributor king.

No parts store will carry the OBD0 b16a distributors because there was never a USDM car equipped with an OBD0 b16a.

It will drive but you will run the risk of being stranded somewhere if the distributor dies.
