H23 dizzy on H22A

[H23CB7]

Ok i tried searching and found two different answers. I want to know if the H23 external dizzy will run fine with my H22a. I currently have it on and its sputtering throughout the power range until vtec. I have a 92 accord lx already set up for external. Im just trying to figure out if the non vtec external dizzy will run fine on my h22a thats supposed to be setup for internal. This is really causing me a headache just trying to drive it normal and having the car jumping like its misfiring. Please Help!!!!

your h22a dizzy is wired for external already? If so then it should work. I ran a h22a dizzy on my f20a dohc

[H23CB7]

No the h22a dizzy is setup for internal coil. Since my cars wiring was setup for external i wanted to keep it that way so i used my old h23a dizzy since it was external coil. But was just wondering if it should run perfectly fine with no hesitation like im having. And i don't know if there is a difference between non vtec and vtec dizzys???? And if it would affect the way the car runs.

I am running an h23 dizzy on my h22a. No problems so far. Anyway you replace anything in it and such? What ECU are you runnin.

Well i changed the plugs and was going to use my plug wires off my accord since they were aftermarket but obviously that don't work. But other then that thats all that has been changed besides cap and rotor about 3 months ago before i pulled the h23. And im running P13.

No codes and didn't check the coil. The wires are the ones that came on the h22. But the coil should be fine cause i ran the same one on my f22, h23 and it ran fine. Now its on the h22.

dizzy is a distributor

You can get a local shop to test your coil. Maybe check out the ignitor. If you still have your old accord one you can swap it into the H23 one if you know it works.

[H23CB7]

I will have to get the coil checked and i know the f22 one works cause its brand new. But i somewhat fixed the problem. I advanced the timing and it got rid of my lowend sputter but there is still a little there. I will just start with one thing and move to the other. Thanks for your guys help.

[NAiL05]

Hmm is your timing on point?

[SMseagren83]

sounds like a timing issue.

**Also FYI: the 1992-1995 prelude SI (H23 NON VTEC) distributor is the same exact one thats on the 1993-1995 prelude SI VTEC (H22a1) engines.**

there is no difference between the two. so YES you should be able to use a H23 distributor and have NO strange issues with it on an H22, that is unless of course its a bad dizzy.

I'm glad i came accross this thread. My H22a came with the distributor wires cut with no harness. My friend has an h23 dizzy, so i am gonna get it now. Free. Can't beat that!

i converted a h23 distributor to internal coil for my h23 headswap.

i think i am about to do this on my h23 dizzy. I don't plan on having a blaster coil or anything on mine so i might as well.
