Probably not about 250-400 for a new Honda dizzy. Autozone special about 200 but you get what you pay for. Why are you replacing your dizzy,DTC(diagnostic trouble code). In the past i have had 2 sensers fail inside distributors I just take apart two distributes and switch the senser. Junk yard dizzys are about 50-150.

So why are you replacing the dizzy??

It depends what is the code? Its an obd2 system so an auto parts store will be able to pull it even if you can only get the numbers (example
p1234) I can look it up and am willing to help. Getting a junk yard dizzy and swapping the senser is cheaper but more time consuming.

So find the code out and we will go from there.

did he give you the code? I never listen to when a mechanic says its that. I always get a second opinion cause you never know.

I'm afraid so. Mechanic's and Salespeople are a dodgy lot. Granted there are good ones and bad ones but the fields are such that it leaves a lot of room to get ripped off. Why do you think dealerships suck so much? Lots of mechanics and salespeople . I'd get the code.
