on my d16 vtec my dizzy does not have the bolt on the rotor how do i take it off to replace it

The screw is all that is holding the rotor on the shaft. If the screw is already out then just pull the rotor off of the shaft. It might be a tight fit, not slide right off.

I don't know but I would always use the OEM one over aftermarket :thumb:

(especially if the rotor doesn't even screw on!)

did you try testing the ICM and coil? Plug wires in good condition? Plugs in fairly decent shape? Valve cover not leaking down into the spark plug holes?

just some ideas :thumb:

i did not test the icm
i change the coil also
plugs were changed 5000 miles ago they r bosch copper
and wires are still in tact
valve cover is good

and i do not have a led tester or a hz function on my multimeter

Just because the wires look intact doesn't mean they're not bad.
I've had perfectly good wires just go bad one day without warning, causing my engine to miss. I guess the wire inside just loses conductivity after so long.
I'd try wires before throwing any more $ at the dizzy. :thumb:
