No Spark Diagnosis (Honda)

It’s been a while, I’ve missed you. In this little tutorial I’m covering the basics of diagnosing a Honda ignition system. I had some technical difficulties while doing this one (I forgot to press record on a couple of occasions and missed a couple of shots) and didn’t get all that I had hoped in this video. In particular I was hoping to show the use of a test light to do this diagnosis but didn’t get all the footage necessary so I’ll go back and shoot that at a later date. I’m hoping there is enough information here to get you started in understanding and diagnosing your ignition system so that you don’t have to buy stuff you don’t need trying to fix a problem.

Here is a link to a place where you might find the tool I used in the video

I want to give a shout out to Greg Insco who donated his car for this video, he’s trying to get on some show called Survivor next season and I helped him with his application video. You can check him and the video out via the link below. I just checked the link and I see that he hasn’t posted it yet but says he will on the 28th of December 2009 so keep checking back on that.
