So pretty close to the set figures... could it be the coil? what sort of tolerance is there for those set figures?

Also tried checking the ICM... as the s/manual said for battery voltage at a couple of points, most that I could check did have it.

Any ideas? thanks for everyone's help.

Ya never get solid results from the tests..just need to swap in knowing working parts,one by one.

Hedged my bets, bought a new ignition coil (oem from Southside Honda) and voila, car works beautifully again!

So nice to have the car back on the road again.

Beeza and co - thanks for your help.

Ur welcome,good one!

Now if only i could solve my issues :(

How's that code 15 goin'?

Still havnt been able to figure it out..... Had it towed to a mechanic this morning, Lets hope he has some better luck.

yes but if you get it and it's a lemon straight out of the box, their 'lifetime warranty' means jack shit because they won't get back to you...

mine had issues from the day i installed it, didn't know it was the cause until it gave up all together about a month later.

I'm running a distributor king dizzy. Haven't had any troubles with it at all, even had follow up questions which they answered quickly and accurately.

Comes with a higher temperature rated ICM then the OEM honda unit and is less then a quarter of the price. i'd rather pay the few extra bucks for a DK one then one from a wreckers.

Hey Joe
It might be worth having a read of my experience...
My Teg died in the recent heat too and it ended up being my ICM. I also notice thats something u havent tried.

Have a read here about my episode:

Goodluck with it!
Feel free to ask any questions as we will all try to answer them. Also describe how it happened to you, would help.

That's my dizzy!

I'm in 2 minds whether to buy one or not.

I would have to modify it like this too.

Hmmmm
