as i just entered western ring road , all of a sudden my dc2 just shut down!
i jump out and noticed a lead had came off, put it back on, go to turn the car on,wont turn on just crank !
i checked to see if my dizzy works but no spark coming out of lead?
is it my main relay?
unplug/reconnect ecu ?
dizzy has gone ?
could anyone please help me
can you hear the fuel pump?
when you say "no spark coming out of lead"
what exactly do you mean?
i had the same sorta thing happen to me one day, was driving along then my car died, but my electrics still worked.
checked it all man, brand new battery.Quote:

I remember this happend to my mate,
the rotor inside of the dizzy was broken. or whatever it is
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?

when it happened to me it was the ignition coil that decided it wasnt gonna play the game anymore
should i try taking the dizzy cap off and see if the rotor is spinning ?
if you got the correct tools go for it.
yeah theres a black thing in there that spins, its plastic.Quote:

Main relay might need re-soldering also, check that out too.
Had the rotor in the dizzy sh*t itself in the dizzy also. Had to get the car towed!!!!! $80 towing for a $7 dollar part! FffUuuU
I'll see after work what it is :)
Haha yeah some dude stoped by on the freeway dodgy as asking do I need a tow
Got the old man to come with abit of rope .
Good old wogs haha
no you shouldn't, just ask ozhonda if it spins or not.Quote:

found this :thumbsup:
spoke to some other people, just cheaper changing my whole distributor!
ICM is over $300! just part
found a whole distributor for 190 just change it my self
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 !Quote:

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??
changed the icm and still no luck ! my next bet is that its the coil!!
comon $3!!
I'll get my bank details ready guys :)
we have to share tho broQuote:

take cheque ?
Hey, I had a similar problem recently as well. Check out my thread here: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...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.
just resoldered my main relay and still no go !
next is my coil been busy with work !!
just changed over my coil and first click started :D
allright everbody pay up :) . lol
