My car died on me the other day, no spark, I replaced the coil and it ran and I drove it and such.

Couple days ago I was driving it and it started acting funny, I put it in neutral and held my foot on the gas a little bit and it would barley run and then it finally died. I checked for spark on the side of the road and there was none, I tried starting it again and it started up and I made it home, weird eh?

So I replaced the igniter unit and it ran good, went to drive it today and the same thing happened.

My main relay is good, the fuel pump primes every time

The only other mod I have is a tucked bay.

All my grounds are good, no codes.

Any ideas? This is getting really annoying

check the timing belt? bad ecu?

[brad]

Timing belt is good and it is timed correctly, Ill have to try and find another ECU to try.

[krukedking]

maybe you should try another coil, maybe the one you put in was on the verge of being bad...

[brad]

Yeah, I need to find one of those too lol

[krukedking]

i used to have one but i cant find the fucker!

[djtydus]

did you by anychance replace the dizzy rotor as well.

[brad]

No I didn't, they looked good, I have another cap and rotor I can try.

Dizzy could be bad. i had a crx and my dizzy crapped out on me. It was sluggish. what happened was the windings in the dizzy started to come apart and it got all wrapped around the dizzy shaft and slowed down the engine. replaced and ran great

How are your spark plugs?

This is a really good faq that I found recently that covers probably 98% or more of no run issues , on our cars, with good info to figure it out. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/startproblems.html

How are your spark plugs?

Plugs have prolly less than 20,xxx miles, but Ill check them.

So I went and put a new cap on and I noticed a screw for one of the wires on the coil was loose lol :palm:

So I tightened it and put the new cap on and it started right up :thumb:
