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

Thanks for the help i got a dc2 type r jap spec dizzy because thats what the motor is in my dc2 vtir but its has a different plug but same dizzy also had a look at ecu they using standard vtir ecu. I have called a few wreckers after vtir dizzy i cant find any can someone recommend me where i can get one thanks

you do not need the entire distributor

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.
