^ Yeah it is supposed to block the coolant from cooling the engine so the car can warm up quick.

Since its removed the coolant flowing free so it takes a while to die down. And there isn't any screw where you can adjust the idle from what I know. Its a sensor controlled business.

So because the water flowing freely it taking long to warm up so the engine idle high for quite some time

I feel I have to get rid of this car. Will the nightmare ever end?

Hear this I get a mechanic to come and hook up the distributor. Surprise Surprise the car still not starting lol

It not getting any spark still. What in gods name is this?

The battery gone dead it was kinda weak also so I put it to charge and he say he will come in the morning to try it back again. The mechanic say it could just be that the battery don't have enough juice to start it.

I am still wondering what was the burning smell coming from the ac vents when this happened a month ago. Could it have been something inside the car all along and I waste money changing the coil?

Well when the battery charge back tomorrow we will know.

doh hut yuh head up on what yuh bad spend breds...just get it fixed

disappointing that you registered on an AUTOMOTIVE WEBSITE and doh know about your own car tho

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

well the battery charging good thing I have a home charger for it.

Fingers crossed that it starts in the morning.

[rism]

sometimes the module in the distributor goes bad, that had happened with mine. i got a f.used distributor to buy in bamboo, nd i fixed my old one nd hav it as a spare, if u still looking for one, u can check mohammed's nex to bicks. They located in bamboo, running parallel to the south bound lane on the highway. ur mech shud also check to see if he getting power to the distributor. my 0.02c

Be careful with dem Honda dissy... A lot of time it's the pickup & igniter that goes bad. It would suck arse if the coil wasn't the problem

I think you right.

Cause I just start it with some good juice from the battery. Strong tumble and it still not starting and the distributor connect properly and everything.

Anything else besides the distributor can be the problem?

What about an Engine fuse or something? cause it getting gas. The mechanic had test for gas so its not the fuel pump.

And I had put in new spark plugs 3 months ago when I did a full tune up.

[Stephon.]

Sounds like frustration after frustration, time to give away

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Boy I eh know what to do now. $800 to replace the coil in this and now its not the facking coil? REALLY???

Holy sheit!!! But the electrician say the coil was bad. But then again he could ah just been saying that to get a sale and make a quick $800 plenty dishonest people out there.

The problem is, there is no spark coming from the spark plugs even after spending that $800

Mechanic coming back in the morning I will have him check the Engine fuses.

I mea, I dont know much about cars eh, but dude....you take the cake yes. sell that car & get a nissan plz.

lol I think he was asking me?

I from Piarco area dan.
I watching this website here

http://www.familycar.com/Classroom/ignition.htm

a lecture on how ignition systems work. It don't look like the spark plug not getting spark has anything to do with a fuse. Hmmmm. It could perhaps be the actual wire from inside the car going to the distributor burned out.

Which could explain the burning smell from inside the car when this issue first started. I had a thread about should I hire a mechanic or an electrician.

Seems I found out the answer to my question now. Mechanic will come back to have one last look tomorrow and if I lucky he might be skilled enough to open the cover below the steering and check the ignition switch.

I will update allyuh but i think this was the problem from the start.

[R-H-D]

uh should be looking for another mechanic
sounds like you are dealing with ah shittong

[nervewrecker]

lol I think he was asking me?

well tell me still, im a sexi south female looking for a north shotta.

[rism]

Check your inbox, sent you a pm. Also forget them fellas who say sell your car and buy a Nissan. Your problem is your mech. get a good qualified mechanic, and you'll be ok. Also,seeing the prices you paying to get simple things done, i think you should also start learning about your car, invest in sum tools, and start learning to troubleshoot problems for yourself, and even fix the simple stuff yourself, cuz sum of them 'mechanics ' out there don't know anything more than you or me, they jus want $.

[nervewrecker]

buy ah alpine...

Go here. The 1st 3 mechs are the best in the country imo. Dunno about the 4th. Call any one of them and you'll have your civic fixed.

How I have checked Honda distributors:-
No spark, first check coil.
If the coil is OK, check module.

Checking the module is very difficult to check.
The module normally has four terminals
Postive (an Input): Must read 12 Volts.
Negative (an Input): Metal body of the module which must be firmly grounded to body of the distributor. And distributor must be properly grounded to engine.
Input (an Input): Is the output signal from the ECU. I don't know how to measure.
Coil (an Output): Is the output from the module to coil. This will be a negative signal as the other side of the two terminals on the coil is a positive from the battery. I don't know how to measure negative signal.
Tach Out (an Output): Tachometer output for ECU and/or RPM gauge.
If the battery voltage is ok on the module and still no spark, replace with a known good module. (Used modules are hard to find and new modules are expensive.)

If coil and module are ok, the only things left are the three sensors in the distributor:-
Top Dead Center sensor
CYlinder Position sensor
CranKshaft Position sensor
A defective sensor should generate a check light. This is the most difficult fix because new individual sensors are not sold by Honda. (These sensors and their purpose may vary based on what model vehicle.)

See diagrams below for general reference only, not specific to your vehicle.

The three mechanics referred to by "Sky" can identify and fix the problem.

[RoTaRyBoYz]

Breds, it was easier to change the whole dizzy for a new unit.. How the firetruck the electrician change the coil and he didn't test it first?? I'm assuming you and your pops diagnosed the problem and assumed it was a bad coil, then told the electrician "yea fadda, change da coil fun meh nah"

With the Accord I was fixing, it was the module that went bad and apparently it sent a signal to the ECU and it farked that up also... After changing 2 NEW distributors in 1 day, and testing every system in my AllData troubleshooting guide, I gave up and took it to an electrician.. He probed around and changed the ECU.. That sheit drove me crazy. I even had Crispeed on the phone trying to help me figure it out. It's not like I'm a noob when it comes to these kinda things, but this Accord was stubborn like the owner

That was a lesson learn for me... No more fixing people's car, no matter how good that arse look

Here you go, you firetruckin perverts - Pic
