4bux its the ICM

Re-apply some heat resistant paste between the ICM and heatsink. I've done it a couple times now (on different hondas) and it has worked everytime
Main relay might need re-soldering also, check that out too.

[hussLEr]

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

no you shouldn't, just ask ozhonda if it spins or not.

found this

[croanth]

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.

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 !
yeah this one is oem just 2nd hand though.
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)

[Bludger]

If second dizzy doesn't work, try swapping internal parts.... ICM, coil.

see if that helps before you spend more money.

[dvsx]

this happened to me too, turned out to be the coil or was it called coilpack??
