so when you take the plug lead out and either put spark plug/screwdriver in and put it on a ground and crank the engine you get no spark?

ok so something in ur dizzy has shit itself. ill find a link to a youtube video on how to troubleshoot and diagnose whats wrong with it.
when it happened to me it was the ignition coil that decided it wasnt gonna play the game anymore

Re-apply some heat resistant paste between the ICM and heatsink. I've done it a couple times now (on different hondas) and it has worked everytime :)
Main relay might need re-soldering also, check that out too.

no you shouldn't, just ask ozhonda if it spins or not.

I bought brand new Japanese ICM for $70 2 weeks ago.
I've used those cheap brand new $150 whole distributors.
Moisture somehow got inside the distributor, rusted the main shaft, causing friction........melting the rotor button.
Mistiming resulted.
Previous owner installed it.
Great value.:thumbdwn:
I got a second hand "OEM" item. replaced coil and ICM.
virtually brand new OEM dizzy for a little bit over the cheap nasty one.

ahhh damnn main shaft rusted (N) ! that sucks !
yeah this one is oem just 2nd hand though.
will see how it goes ! i know it is abit tricky to change the icm as ive been told.
just checked now as i wasnt getting any spark out of my coil, so must be icm!
ill just change the whole thing, get the timing right and see how i go (Y)

If second dizzy doesn't work, try swapping internal parts.... ICM, coil.
see if that helps before you spend more money.
this happened to me too, turned out to be the coil or was it called coilpack??
croanth
02-10-2011, 07:06 PM
changed the icm and still no luck ! my next bet is that its the coil!!

Hey, I had a similar problem recently as well. Check out my thread here: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?153596-Engine-stalled-and-wouldn-t-start
I ended up replacing my ICM and ignition coil when there wasn't anything wrong with them in the first place. In the end, it was my main relay. Resoldering it solved it for me. Try doing that first. If you need a working ICM/ignition coil, I can sell you mine.
