Civic EG

Hi Guys and Gals,

A quick question regarding the good old crank and no start condition. Sorry its a long post, I lost my multimeter and wanna save some cash if I can....

My little brother and I both drive DX's, my last LSi Coupe died from this condition so when Jim rang me as he'd broken down I went out to help. His engine cut out when driving, started again for a few miles then cut out and wouldn't start again. After an hour of waiting for me it started then died as soon as he gave it a little throttle and died for good. We checked the obvious stuff but thought wed put my dizzy on his engine and everything ran fine.

Rather than replace the whole dizzy, if I replace his coil and igniter module do you think those are the only things inside the dizzy that could cause the issue?

I did put my cap and rotor arm on his dizzy also and that did nothing. Leads and plugs are also fine. I'm assuming it can only be the coil and ICM??

Cheers in advance

having the same problem with my z6 teal told me to try just the coil first as it is alot cheaper. the icm an be pricy. for the price of the coil and a icm i can buy another brand new dizzy. but teal says that these are the main things that go bad on dizzy's

I think well end up replacing the dizzy probably, jims got a quote for £80 for a reconditioned one so well see... cheers bud
