Ignition Problem Please Help!

[brandenbmx]

I posted 2 weeks ago and didnt get a single reply.....
I hope I havent pist anyone off in here?

Can someone please help me I dont know what else to do...
I and having a osolating Idle at cold.... Replaced FITV and IACV.
Checked for anti freeze leak..... drained system.... checked vacume....
check egr..... I have no clue.
That is PROBLEM ONE

Problem two is I keep loosing 12+ to my coil......IT IS A BLACK AND YELLOW wire.
I have replaced distributer...cap...roter...main relay...ignitor...coil.... eveything pretty much that the ignition system has in these fucking cars.... HAS ANYONE HEARD OF THIS?

[i'm the girl]

question number one: are you throwing a code (CEL)?





if so, have you taken the steps to check which code? and does it oscillate at operating temp too? or just cold?

[brandenbmx]

NO CODE........as of yet just drops voltage to coil from what i can tell.

Yes osolating all the time now... When it is cold outside.

[brandenbmx]

Not that it really matters because no one seems to give a flying FuC* I have some further info.... With aldata pics.........

The black and yellow wire that keeps loosing power at the coil runs from the ignition switch....this 12 power lead is actually off the main 12v feed under the dash... it runs seat belts, whipers, blower motor, head lights, door locks, windows, sunroof, and a hole shit ton of things. all these work...

From there it goes through the firewall and is a straight feed to the positive side of the coil, then the igniter, and if im not mistaken actually to the distributer.

So What i have done is run a jumper wire directly from the + side of the coil to the battery to start the car...... but i still get random stalls... So I THINK IT IS EITHER A IGNITOR,COIL,OR DISTRIBUTOR, all three of which I have replaced.... But with Auto Retardz parts.........not honda dealer parts.....hummmmmmmmmmmm.
any suggestions or thoughts on this ????
noone cares so far so.......... anyways

Send a PM to hondafan81. he's not online right now, but he is often. I don't know him, but I've followed his engine build and it seems he would know the answer to your problem.

Have the coil tested, make sure they didn't sell you a fucked up one. Change your coil wire...

[93CB7]

Single Key, right answer. The weight of several keys and trinkets can screw up the ignition. My thought was the connections in the ignition switch are getting loose. The part where the key goes is just a tumbler, behind the tumbler is a square sloted. If the tumbler was gone you would see the square slot. Behind the square slot is a multi-switch that controls several wires. I think there are 5 wires. These wires are soldered to the switch. They are soldered to the back of the switch. These will all be in good condition because there is no pressure or wear put on them. BUT, inside the switch is where the connections are made. This is where pressure of too much weight, or wear from being used too many times will cause ignition problems. One time the car won't turn over because the wires that the switch combine to send voltage to the starter are messed up. One time you will be driving down the road and the car will shut off, just like you had reached over and turned the key back and turned it off yourself. If you think this is possibly your problem the first thing I would do is call a lock smith and explain the situation to him. His years of experience will help to decide if your car might have this problem. He might say, "I have seen this problem with many GM vehicles, but never in a Honda". This means I am probably wrong. But, if he says he has seen this problem several times with Hondas ask him how much it is too fix and you need to decide if you want him to fix it for you or if you want to get the parts and do it yourself. The tumbler that comes with the new switch will be differant than the one you have now of course, but you can put your old tumbler in the new lock so you maintain the "one" key system.

There is no coil wire on a 91....... It is a internal coil.....meaning it is actually inside of the dist cap. I am gonna have my coil test today. Thanks

sorry for the slow response oh great impatient one.... but i was going to say exactly what 93cb7 said, it sounds like you switch is going bad and you should definitely have it checked.
