car misses and dies at idle

[project93]

I tried searching but didn't find something that really matched my problem.

i have a 93 lx F22a1. when driving the car with engine warm and i come to a stop the rpms drop to about 300rpm and then dies. however it doesn't do it every time. i tried looking at it today. pulled the plugs and it looks brand new(replaced plugs, wires cap and rotor about 9,000 mi ago). i ran the car until warm then held the rpm's at 2000rpm and i could hear a popping/missing noise. i returned it to idle and it died again. started it back up repeated process and still heard missing but then when i returned it to idle it idled fine(around 650-700). i have no CEL. what bugs me is it only does it when the ambient air temp is hot. it did it on my way to work when it 80 degrees but not on my way home when it 60. any idea's? i hate problems that arn't constant.

My car once dropped low enough to die at a light. It used to always miss at freeway speeds. I recently replaced the entire distributor and the thing runs like never before. It is said that the igniter unit in the dizzy is a common CB failure item. Try digging an igniter out of a junkyard car if you don't want to fork over the money for the whole dizzy.

I had the same problem I change the dizzy.. Now the car runs good although u should check the timing belt

I vote Igniter. You can get them for about $45 new, or around $100 for the best one. Just go to a JY and snatch one up, tha'd probly work. Ive replaced mine twice (two, used stock ones).
