Default Tach-o-my god

My coil died and ever since I replaced it my ignition freaks out above 3500. Sometimes it does all right but if I try to to accelerate above that it misses really bad and my tach swings between 3500 and the bottom. Does my car have Aids or something??

Try a new igniter. The igniter is what sends the signal to the tachometer.

Are you having a problem with your tack or reeving past 3500rpm? confused. When your replaced your coil did you take off the distributor? If you did did you re set your ignition timing?



Ninja? Im trying to help you dick lol.

It hella misses and my tach goes crazy. Yesterday I just pushed it and everything kind worked after I hit 7000. It seemed to run better after I did that amazingly but the tach still flickered alittle above 3500. Timings cool and I left the dist in for the coil replacement. I did take it out when the other coil died and tried another dist to make sure it was my ignition... it left me in an intersection. It was hella cool. Why does everybody think ur a dick?

Yes.

So you have changed the distributors out did you mark the location of the first on? If you just slapped it on their its wrong You changed your timing. When you check your base timing are your shorting your scs connector? Do you have any codes? If you are misfiring you can look at your plugs and see http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/pages/t.../diagnosis.htm thy will look all black and wet.

Ninja Porn from heaven!!! Ya I marked it and shorted the connector. I might have knocked something loose when i tached it out tho. Let me do that other stuff u said to so I can rule those out.

I do alot of low speed driving during the country put I take every once and again. I also have Hondata thats set up for a b16 with a turbo that is throwing the "where's ur vtec" code but i have a b18b non-vtec. No codes with the stock ecu but this all started a long time before I got the new ecu. I can tell that its the advance because the ignition doesnt cut out it just looses power and then spikes. It feels like there's a midget playing with my throttle. sometimes when im accelerating slow i can feel everything work right and it hauls ass. Its so wierd but it keeps from street racing.

Why would you run an ECU that is not tuned for your car?
