Ok great news... got the screw out somehow (minor miracle.. it was so tight it wasnt funny) and took the rotor off. BUT, I checked the ignition coil (checking for resistance as per the service manual).... resistance between A and B should be 0.6-0.8, mine was 0.9.... between secondary winding and +ve should be 12.9-19.8, mine was about 11.3. 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.
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.
