Come to think of it my aerial wouldn't go down yesterday and I could hear a strange noise exactly where the relay was all day too.I reckon a new one is gonna fix my woes.

if that doesn't work, you could have a exposed wire somewhere shorting onto the metal, which in turn will eventually blow a fuse i reckon, alternatively could be your fuel pump if you ran low on fuel recently could of burnt it, or the wiring, should check that out. If you park your car outside as well could be condensation
108? Is that straight from Honda? You should of tried to source a 2nd hand one from somewhere. That shit's expensive!
Yeah,I know it's expensive (strait from Honda).I guess it's just one of those things I want to buy new,supacheap,autobarn,global spares didn't stock them.
I really hope it's this and not a wire shorting out somewhere.
Swapped the relay,nothing.I'm will swap the external MSD coil next...
Swapped the coil,no luck.Did a compression test:
1.100
2.175
3.100
4.175
The car is at my mechanics,he is going to take off the valve cover and check the valve clearance.Hopefully the valves aren't f**ked in cylinders 1 & 3...
checked the dizzy man?
dizzys are pretty common to fail on most older hondas
i also had similar symptoms on my old d16a8, turned out it was the dizzy.
What part of the dizzy did the problem come from?
in most cases its the coil or something along those lines, usually it just needs a replacement sub assembly (which isnt cheap, but there are cheaper aftermarket options such as 'petroject')
if you find it is the dizzy i wouldnt put a 2nd hand one on as you could have the same problem a few months down the track
Thanks Panda,I'll check out 'petroject'.I'm runnin' the MSD set up with an external coil,so I replaced that but no honey.
petroject is just an oem style replacement, but cheaper than genuine honda.Quote:

Ah cool that's what petroject is.I haven't replaced the dizzy.It's at my mechanics now,he will find the problem,he's a very good mechanic,I just hope it's something cheap,offcoarse...
