    H22a Distributor issue

    So my car isnt running and someone said it is my dizzy. When I had my swap done, they changed it over to an internal coil. What Im wondering is what Dizzy should I be buying that is internal coil and will work with a obd1 h22a?

    The JDM H22a is internal coil while US H22's are external I beleive. Those dizzy's can be complicated sometimes to convert to whatever you want them to. Your best bet is to either get an external coil H22a or H23a1 dizzy and with a little converting, it will work great and probably have better spark.

      And that brings on my next question, if I was to switch it over to external, what would have to be done?

          I just wanna know if I go to discount auto or autozone what dizzy can I ask for? I am not a mechanic in any way so I really need as much advice as possible. Someone told me they think my ignition control mod was bad in my dizzy.....if so, can I buy just that part? And if so, being it is a JDM h22, what part do I order? SOrry I am so clueless....trying to learn

            I think the 90-91s are internal coil, I heard something about a 99-01 Civic Si dizzy working as well. I'd take yours in and match them up if you can take apart the cap/rotor and see if it all matches.

              im pretty sure that the dizzy is the same as the f22a4. When i got my h22a the coil was out and i just used the one out of my f22a4. also, when i buy a new cap and rotor, i just ask for one for a 1990 accord lx. it fits perfectly.

                with my experience with honda dizzy's i know that just about any dizzy will work with any motor as long as it is the same obd design and if your motor is v-tec the dizzy has to match and vice versa.

                  So as long as I get an OBD1 Vtec Dizzy I should be good?

                      OK so I just went and looked at the distributor on my car now and it is a td-80u. Everything I search is showing that is a distributor for a NON Vtec motor. So did the guy that do my swap put in the wrong distributor? I know the vtec wasn't kicking at all.

                        I think TD80U is from an obd2 civic. I also have a obd1 JDM H22A and the distributor stump says TD60U.
