Stupid stupid idea. You could of zapped yourself.


Anyway , you have fckued the distributor coil or igniter unit.

Replace it and learn your lesson !

your friend damaged your ignition coil and possibly your ICM by pulling your lead off.

search the DIY section on how to test the ICM and coil to find out which is damaged

Coil I think is about $60 at Repco. Find a local ignition shop and get them to test the dizzy, then source some generic parts and get them to fix it or just let them do it themselves.

From Honda I think my last quote for a new dizzy altogether was around the $700-800 mark, or you can find them for about $250-350 generic.
