Distributer problems

[No1streetjustic]

Im doing a swap on my boys CB7 and i cant figure out the probs with the wires not matching cuz of the f22a6 being a external coil and the h22a is a internal coil....alot of the wires keep coming up negative with the test light most of its done and the motors about to crank up but theres no spark need help ASAP...thanx

directly quoted from the COMPLETE SWAP FAQ

Internal/External Coil Issues:
If your car came equipped with an internal coil then the JDM H22 distributor will plug right in no problem. However, if your car had external coil then you will have to modify one plug. The plug you will need to modify is the plug that went to the stock coil. There are is a yellow and a yellow/black wire, splice those 2 wires together. The Black/White wire is useless, don’t worry about it. If you dont want to cut the plug off and splice, jam a 30amp fuse into the end of the plug, making the connection between the two wires.

If your car is external coil and you wish to maintain the external coil you will need to open the JDM dizzy, remove the internal coil. Run the wire from the igniter that used to go to the internal coil out of the distributor and plug it into the blank spot on the distributor’s plug. That’s it. Use the 93-95 Prelude Vtec’s Distributor cap and rotor that you can pick-up and your local dealer or auto parts.

What caps to use:
Internal coil – CB7 internal coil cap/rotor or 00 Civic SI cap/rotor.
External coil – 93-95 Prelude Vtec cap/rotor.

The thing is that there was 2 plugs that didnt match up so they had 2 be cut and spliced wich was already done and all the wires were almost the same color and they matched up but it was done with the wire diagrahm... it seems correct the only thing is those couple of wires that arnt sending the spark.

why cut and spile?

you should of used the original dizzy for your car then. and done the internal/ external coil swap. and if your is already external, then your good. dont know why you cut and spliced

All Honda OBD-1 distributor plugs are the same. Now if you have an OBD-2 H22A distributor and are tring to use an OBD-1 plugs then yes you have a problem.

if it was ext. to internal there is a plug that went into the coil there r three wires that r there take a 30 amp. fuse and put it in where it fits hittin two of the wires... thats all i had to do to get mine to work....

[crazylude]

does it have to be 30 amp?

[TheTempest]

yes, the resistance needs to be the a certian amount. You can pick them up at autozone for like $2...or something like that.

dude the fuse is like a reg. fuse in ur fuse box.. the little flat square ones.. there should be a spare 30 in ur box either under the hood or the one by ur feet.. you might be able to go 25 amp.. but it could blow so try it if thats all you got and if it fires then dies.. check the fuse see if it blew if so u know u need a bigger one and ur done...
