Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 20041990 Civic Ignition Module Wiring
OK, I just did something very, very stupid. While changing my igniter, I didn't mark the wires as to which wire goes to which terminal. I only know for sure where one of the four wires goes. Can someone either tell me (or point me to a website) how the wiring is supposed to be? I only have a Haynes manual, and it doesn't give any wiring diagrams. Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanx! :-) Jonathan P.S. In case you're just joining us, my car is a 1990 Honda Civic LX, 1.5L DPFI Hey, 1991 Civic LX 1.5 Liter DPFI here. I replaced the ignitor (a.k.a. "ignition module") last year. Got into a big discussion about how it works and some of the wiring. I googled and came upon the sites below. http://www.markl.f9.co.uk/howto/electrical/igniter/igniter.htm (has a drawing, but probably not nearly as good as that in the next site) Try especially the link in blue titled "download this zip" at http://www.gcw.org.uk/rover/igniter.htm . Before you start downloading, notice also there is a verbal description of the wiring. If the link fails, email me, as I think I still have the drawing and might be able to talk you through it. > OK, I just did something very, very stupid.

IIRC he added the wiring schematics to his site after he joined the discussion here and people were asking. I thought this was a nice bit of "community service." Thanks for the update about the repair and the subsequent change in performance. I'm always on the prowl now for when I next have to get a new ignitor for my 1991 Civic. :-) > Got my car running.

Not bad, considering it was going to be $89.95 + tax @ Advance Auto Parts! Jonathan > All credit to the author of the second link.

If it's not OEM, that's still a good deal. I paid around $100 last year for an OEM ignitor. > I found mine on eBay for $39.95 + $10.00 s&h.

It's the real thing because it's in my car and working great. :-) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7916183855 Jonathan > Is what you bought from Ebay a new, OEM ignition module (= ignitor)? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > > Jonathan |
