Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 20051991 accord distributor
A friend asked me to look at his sons car, after spending $800 and the car still doesnt run. I have not looked at it yet, and don't have much experience on hondas. I know from this site there is a huge problem with ignighters,coils and also rotors. The first garage replaced the ignighter and coil three times each time the car would run two or three days then quit running any ideas? > A friend asked me to look at his sons car, after spending $800 and the car > still doesnt run.

Signature-------------------------- Failing to put the heat-sink paste on the device might cause it to fry again soon.

Make sure all the parts are installed properly and operational before driving away. At times, the bearing are badly dried that the heat can do damage. Feel the distributor every 10 miles. |
