I bought a 92 accord with an obd1 h22a that someone else swapped in. It ran terrible when I first got it, but I've been slowly fixing everything that is wrong with it. One thing I have not been abe to figure out is the ignition timing. I put a new distributor on because I was getting a code 4 which is a CKP sensor. It starts and idles fine. I set the idle according to the DIY and went to set the ignition timing. I put a paperclip in the service connector. The light showed it was firing at TDC, however when I gave it a little gas, say 1500 RPM, it goes to the 15 degree mark, but I cannot get it to 15 degrees on idle. Any suggestions?

Aftermarket distributor? maybe need to slot the holes and get some more adjustment in it.
Have you checked cam timing?
And yes ignition timing will change with rpm, load, throttle position, temperature etc.
Is the ecu chipped at all?
Are you sure its a blacktop flywheel? Euro R flywheels are 12 degree.

I should be able to source a USDM h22a1 distributor and it plug right in with the f22a6 external coil wiring, correct? I threw the old distributor back on just to see what would happen. I could properly set the timing and it ran good until it threw code 4 again, which is why I needed to replace it in the first place. So the problem is definately in the aftermarket replacement distributor. I think I could find an oem USDM distributor much easier than a JDM one. Would it work? Just run external coil?

Got the problem solved. Still not quite sure what exactly the problem was, other than it did not like the aftermarket distributor. I ended up doing the external coil DIY where you take all the internals out of an F22 distributor and put it in the h22 housing. Running external coil now, and set the timing perfect.
