Distributor Problems.

[John89]

Okay, I have a '89 hond civic hatch 1.5l D15B2 Dual point injected. I took the distributor off to replace the O ring off and I ran into a mess. So I took it into auto zone / oriellys and they both said its missing parts and it has too much play ect then when they looked it up it wasnt even my distributor... Ill post pics In a few mins. PLEASE HELP!

just get a new one

 

[John89]

Thats what I pan to do but I need to know if im missing anything.

 

[AHHVTEC]

when you buy a new one it will come with everything you need

 

[John89]

I was gunna get one out of a scrap yard. If there different I wont know what to get.

 

[AHHVTEC]

just get one for a 88-91 civic or crx dual port

 

[John89]

if it is MPFI will it matter?

 

[AHHVTEC]

if it is MPFI will it matter?

im not sure on that but to be sure just get the dual port one

 

[John89]

k just wonering does the normal one have a seperate coil(mines built in)

 

[AHHVTEC]

they should all be built in

no, they are all internal on the EF. buying a junk yard distributor is not the best idea though... distributors on hondas are sorta like spark plugs... sure you can throw in some old ones, and maybe they'll work. but for a little bit more money, you can have a new one, with a guarantee. not getting stranded somewhere is more important to me than saving $40.

 

[John89]

they priced me $200.... also is there a rod that is connected, the oil sumthing or another.. if so that mutha fer is gone!

 

[AHHVTEC]

naa it just bolts up to the camshaft, and is 200 for a brand new one,

 

[John89]

yea, high right?

 

[AHHVTEC]

well kinda but there high anyways i got my last one from this place but i hear its hit or miss sometimes
