It wouldn't be the first time that an ignitor failed out of the box. There are a couple of different tests to do on the coil. I don't know for sure what the exact procedure on an accord is but on my integra you have to check the primary and secondary windings one should have a low resistence one should have a high resistance. Check a chiltons or haynes and find out what points to check. If the check engine light is on when you put the jumper there that means there are no codes stored. You also have to remember that there are three other sensors in the distributor which contribute to the ignition signal. I think there is a TDC sensor a piston position sensor and one other that I can't think of right now but they are just an inductive pickup type sensor and you can check the resistance of all of those coils. The ignitor gets its signal from the ecu which uses those three different sensors in the distributor to fire the ignitor. So if you are getting weak spark I would tend to think that your coil might not be working properly because the ignitor is either going to work or it won't because it is basically a fast switching transistor that is turned off and on by the pulse from the ecu and a semicondutor switch like that doesn't wear out over time it works or it doesn't. So check all the voltages in your distributor you should have 12VDC going to your coil if it is not 12VDC then you have to find out where the voltage drop is. If you are getting all the right voltages in your distributor and all the resistances check out I would recommend finding a good used one that is working and try that. Try car-parts.com and do a search in fact I would probably try that first and then if runs figure out what was wrong with the old one and use it for a spare or sell it. Hope this helps
