For future reference, i would recommend posting vehicle issues in the ‘Service and Repair’ section.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Are you sure this is a ignition problem? Have you done a spark check on it, take the plug out and put it in the wire then hold the wire up against a piece of metal and have somebody crank the vehicle and see if it arcs off the metal, i know hondas have a problem with their fuel pump relays going bad, check fuel pressure from the valve on the fuel rail also. Hope this helps.
Quoted From Grinder4679:
1997 Honda Civic 4DR, non Vtec, 5spd. I went out yesterday morning and started it up came in the house and about 5 min later came back out it was off. So I tried to start it, it will turn over but not start. i change the ignition coil and cleaned all points on the cap and rotor. It fired off then died again. will not start now. I watch the video on YouTube but it doesn’t tell you how to change the ignitor if its needed. Can anyone help? Thanks Gizmo
I changed the Cap and rotor today. Still not starting… Could it be a bad GROUND? Or Ignitor????
I realize this is an older post, but it had no response. So for those who follow later….
Yes, it could definitely be as simple as a bad ground. I just encountered the same problem in a Camry. I painted the mounting bracket the ignitor ICM went on with Derusto to keep it in good shape. Did not realize the mounting bracket was the source of ground for the ignitor. So, i used a wire brush, cleaned off the paint where it connected, and voila, the car started right up.
