I have shit luck

[10thcb7]

Why the hell would my accord give me shit now? I just replaced alot of suspension parts and tires and today it wouldnt turn on. Basicly its acting like the igniter has gone out. I tried jump starting and it sounds like its not getting either full or spark. I placed a screw driver to the boot of the plug wire and had it cranked over. I Didnt see any spark maybe its too bright out? Well how can I check with a multimeter my igniter and coil ? I bought it back when i was 16 and I dont know how to use it. Thanks

Fuck so I just unscrewed the fuel rail relief nut and there is plenty of gas going to the lines. SHIT!!!

[10thcb7]

alright so I have like great news ! I just found an oil leak in my distributor . hell yeah just alittle more money to shell out later down the road, SHit. i might opt out for cp mikes gizmo still pondering that though

[10thcb7]

No i think the cp mike deal might fair better in race app of some sort or a beast not a Daily Driver. I think Ill try replacing the Coil with an aftermarket unit first hence its easy to spot and cheaper than an oem coil.

there's a rubber Dizzy O ring that gets hard over time. Thats what's prob. causing your leak...thus frying the ignitor w/ hot oil. And to test the coil, get a haynes. They've got all the resistance values in the book.

thanks man. I think I might just use some black silicone for now untill i can buy one unless its fairly cheap then why not. Tommorrow im off and ill be checking out my distributor. I hope its just some oil or carbon build up I can clean away. or A simple coil problem not a igniter. update at noon

Hey man sorry about your luck. I'm on my first CB and i'm having all kinds of issues. I knew I was get some but I didn't know I was going to be up to my throat in rust, cooling issues, and oil leaks. But hey it came with new rims and tires. HA

[blackenwkn]

i dont know man lol my cb seems to do the same shit fix somethin then BAM another costly part needed

[SlowRide]

I'm willing to bet that its just the distributor is beat up, the o-ring spoken of isn't hard to replace and is probably the problem. Also, I've had a similar issue before. Check the distributor, coil and obviously fuel. Its your typical 3 things you want to check when the motor isn't running or properly, fuel, ignition and air....

Start from the easiest to the more difficult but CHECK it don't just replace it.

fixing tha o-ring wont make it start. when my dizzy took a shit on me i had tha same problem. took buyin a new coil and shit 2 figure it out. so $180 later i bought a new dizzy and the bitch fired right up. all in all i spent bout $300 jus to get my car startin all over a stupid lil oil leak.

[10thcb7]

Gee thanks fellas. I put an ohm meter on the coil today and I dont get a reading on the A and C terminals but I get small Reading on the B and D terminal. I might just throw an aftermarket tube(FORD style) type coil on it. Is the shaft supposed to wiggle around a bit?

[10thcb7]

the insides dont have any oil inside so im guessing its the coil. Im replacing the three seals any how. for now ill replace the coil and wait before I buy another IGNEITER

[10thcb7]

my coil is supposed to come in tomorrow two freaking months after i ordered it. Any how since there wasnt any oil leaking into the dist im not replacing that o ring yet. How do i install the coil any how?
