wet distributor coil?

[ckyskater733]

i had my car taken to my mechanic cuz it was stallin out and stuff, and he called me back and said that there was a igniter coil in my distributer that was fucked up or sumthin. he said it was $400 to fix.

would all i have to do is buy a new distributer and replace it? i think 400 is way too much to spend, and wondering how much a distributer costs and if i can install it myself.

I don't think Just the igniter cost that much. For 400 bucks you can get a new dizzy from HONDA. But you buy just the igniter for a lot less than that! I know there is a member that just did this like two days ago.

the ignition coil? if so....


HAHAHA.. 400 bucks.. that's one hell of a rip-off.. dont go back to that shop ever again if it's the part i think it is.
The ignition coil is internal on some dizzy's and mighty cheap and easy to replace. All you need to do is take off the distributor cap, take out the distributor rotor and then you'll see the ignition coil.. there's 2 screws i think, just take them out, replace it and put it all back together. It only cost me 30 bucks for the Ingition coil, don't even think about spending 400 for anything involved with the distributor.

alright guys thanks. ill just take the car home and work on it this weekend hopefully. can i just buy one of the igintion coils at napa?

if it isnt just the coil, i can still buy a whole distributor on ebay for like 60 bucks. the most for a whole one was about 150

You can't beat that price bro. lok into it. And also that $400 price tag is pure bullshit. NEVER go back to that shop again.

i got a extra working ignition coil here..if u want it holla...i paid like 70 at the dealer for it, but i think it has some mileage on it.

but yes thats a rip...

[ckyskater733]

yeha well my dad said it would be easier just to let them do it....i already owe them money for labor, so my dad said i should just have them finish the job. hes paying for it, but im gonna have to pay him back im guessing. dammit, that sucks cuz my birthday is next week and now im guessing thats my present. and i was hoping for a 1998 accord my dad found for $2k i thought he was gonna get it for me stupid old car.

[accordztech]

for that price u might as well go to honda.

[dwf137]

if you've gota pay your dad back, explain to him that 15 mins worth of work and at most a $75 part is not worth $400..

Hopefully you still get that newer accord, that's one hell of a deal..
