hello,
ive got a 4th gen prelude (import) its got 8mm magnecor leads, ngk triple platinum plugs, brand new genuine honda distributor and rotor Ractive Induction kit.All these parts were fitted saturday morning and i then drove it a few miles no problem. Ive had a small flat spot since i bought the car.
i left it ticking over a few minutes to see if the car was blowing any smoke out from the cleaning stuff we put through the engine 2 weeks ago but as i went to touch the accelerator to rev it the car just cut out. and it now will not start, theres fuel going through but no spark.
the breakdown guy reckons it could be the ignition amplifier, ignition coil or the crank pick up sensor, so i replaced the amplifier but still no good.

can any body help as i unsure wheteher to just buy a new dizzy unit

thanks

 

Probably your ignition coil.

 

would anyhthing that ive done caused the ignition coil to go. I forgot to disconnect the battery when i changed the leads and i did get a small shock would that of caused it.

 

I dont think so, how old is your ignition coil? You can always got buy an igntion coil and then return it if it doesnt fix your problem.

 

the car has done 95000 miles and i doubt very much that it has ever been changed. ive ordered a complete dizzy unit. that should definately resolve the problem. (i hope)

 

But what if its your ignition coil? the dizzy unit wont come with one, you have ot order it seperately.

 

when i ordered it they said it was going to be complete new dizzy including coil, amplifier, crank pick up sensor etc. So i hope it does its coming today so ill find out.
