I know I asked for help on this before but I didn't get many responses so I'm gonna go into detail. Here's the deal....


My distributor went out in my integra so I bought a used one also from a 94 LS. When I put it on it cranked up fine but after a few minutes of idling I give it a little gas and it went dead and wont' crank back up. It acts like it did when the first went bad. So I got new spark plugs and in the 2nd one there was a wire that looked kinda fried so I replaced it with the one on the original one and the rotor and cap. That still didn't work. What I think is either the 2nd one being used from a 94 also could have blown as well or there is something making them blow. I can't afford to keep buying distributors. What could it be that is making them blow or are there any other suggestions. The fuel pump is fine by the way it's not that. What else could it be. I can't get it to a shop either because I can't pay to get it towed there and possibly back to my house. HELP!!!!!!!!

 

You could replace all your plugs and wires and then go from there. Also where did you get the used distributor from? Was it refurbished or from a junked Integ?

 

I replaced all the plugs because the other ones were horrible and had gas all over them. There is this place called Import Auto Salvage about 3 hours from me. I get a lot of parts there and I got it from them. They get wrecked cars and take the parts off and sell them.

 

This maybe an obvious thing but did you get the plug wires back in the right order?

I changed mine out a while back and got two reversed (not sure how as I replaced them one at a time but it happened).

 

yeah I checked those too...

 

I am getting a refund for the 2nd distributor and going to get another and see if it blows too. If it does then I know it's not the distributor it's something else. I just hope I can find the something else.
