Greetings,

I asked before about what else to do with a rough idling Accord. I had
replaced the ignitor and fixed the main relay. It still ran rough at
idle and did worse as it ran longer.

Well I cleaned the throttle bottle, put in a new PCV, and a new fuel
filter. All of sudden it was running great, BUT after long it was
idling rough sometimes (not as bad), and now a new problem exists. At
driving RPMs the Tach goes crazy and it runs like poop.

I am thinking its a bad coil, but before I go buy one I wanted to see
what you all had to say. Did I do something wrong? Miss something? Or
am I just taking one problem down at a time that allows other
preexisting problems to run free?

Thanks for all the help

Tach going nuts?
1) Blue wire intermittent connection
2) Igniter going bad.

Check tach connection inside distributor, and at connector block.

How clean is the EACV?

> I am thinking its a bad coil,

No, not the coil at all.

Hmmm.

The ignitor is brand new.. Either I connected something wrong OR
something is making it go bad, assuming it is bad. It also runs like
poo while the tach is going crazy....

I'll check the EACV, and the blue wire.

Thanks

------------------------

Is it the ignitor that has to have heatsink paste on the backside to
prevent it overheating?

I doubt it's thee main problem, but just to eliminate it: Did you purge air
from the cooling system?
