Car Smokes
Hey i put a prelude engine in my 1991 accord and replaced all seals and gaskets, etc. to be sure it wouldnt be leaking. Now when i crank my car up it smokes excessively out of the tail pipe. does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I thought it might have been my plugs so i bought brand new ones and it was ok for a minute or so then it started back. My ignition coil also has gone out and i bought a new one of those and now i think that one has gone out. What could be causing the ignition coil to go bad when its new? and when the car cranks what could be causing it to smoke excessively?

id also check the ignition timing. when you put the dizzy in, did you set the crank to tdc? could be timing issue?
also just some advice..if you put in a new /used motor id spend the extra money and pick-up a new dizzy from ebay. it comes with new coil, ignitor, and everything. i bought two off ebay from a guy flying-pat out of plattsburgh, ny.
ive never had a problem with the dizzy. i got oone for my accord and one for the cr-v. its cuz once the oem bearing goes bad you screwed. just my opinion.
and again from your other post..its your ignitor most likely. it can take out a good coil.
btw..look at your dizzy and give me the part number..should be like td-55U number.
