- Sun Apr 10, 2011 7:48 am #249472 Ok so I have a stock D15B7 besides CAI and exhaust. Today following my lady friend to go rebuild her starter in her G20. I stop at a 4 way stop been all gangsta I had my seat back too far and my foot slipped off the clutch pedal, car stalled out and wouldn't start. I try'd to push start it won't go. Pushed it to my friends garage checked the plugs they had lots of gas on them so it's not a fuel problem so I pulled all of the plugs. Maybe it was flooded i put them back still nothing the engine will turn over, but not start. Then I pulled one plug at a time and none of them are getting a spark checked all my fuses there all good. I checked all the plugs and wires to the distributor they all seem fine and the timing is still spot on. The inside of the distributor looks pristine no dirt no corrosion nothing. I'm running out of ideas guys would like some help!! I also have a Z6 head waiting to go on the B7 do you think maybe I should just through it on or find the problem first?? All help much appreciated thanks!!

- Sun Apr 10, 2011 4:19 pm #249508 your coil might have gone bad.. hondas are famous for a car running fine then bam the coil(inside the dizzy) goes bad

use another b7 dizzy or a coil from a friend and see if that is ur prob

- Sun Apr 10, 2011 4:21 pm #249509 the coil is probably bust, common problem and they do go without any warning at any time as its an electrical unit like most will just fail.

yeah but the price u will pay for a rebuild u can go to A1auto(on this site, in the vendors) and u can buy a new coil for like 30 bucks or a whole new dizzy for like 140ish

- Sun Apr 10, 2011 4:36 pm #249515 i believe you can but not needed if its just the coil gone BUT while you at it theres no harm in replacing the dizzy cap and rotor while changing the coil.

- Sun Apr 10, 2011 8:24 pm #249568 no prob man!!

im glad we could help

oh and go to A1auto on this site and buy a new coil for like 30-40 bucks, put it in your old dizzy and keep it for next time or sell it

- Sun Apr 10, 2011 8:29 pm #249569 LOL That's exactly what I was going to do. Because I have a mini-me swap waiting to go on so don't really need this dizzy, but you never know lol.

- Thu Apr 14, 2011 3:03 pm #250401 having the same problem. i had my igniter module tested, it failed. i replaced it, but now no spark at all. i had a little before i replaced it. im going to try my coil now...

i don't have fuel going through the injectors either... i thought about checking my PGM FI relay. OR trying the coil, i read somewhere that in some cars if something is bad in the ignition system, it will tell the injectors not to fire. is that true in our hondas?

sorry for the thread jack. i've been trying to get my car fixed for the last few days and no one will respond in my other thread so...

- Thu Apr 14, 2011 4:26 pm #250407 can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to "on"? Put your ear on the middle of the rear seat cushion to hear it better.
If no prime, then your main relay may be bad.
