LOL.. just noticed I said crap instead of cap. My dist went in my 90 DX back in '97.. all the lights in the gauge bessel went off and the car died.
A little over a month ago.. I was cruising down a highway in my 00 EX .. and my car lost all engine power and costed to a stop. I still had all electric and everything else. The car sounded like it would turn over.. but never did. No CELs... nothing. Turns out it was the Ignition coil.. there was a very subtle line of white coming off of it.
:dunno: tho.. just telling you what I've been through. Kinda sounds identical. Good luck. :happysad:
