Coil / Ignitor / Main Relay Cont.

    Greetings,

    I asked before about what else to do with a rough idling Accord. I had
    replaced the ignitor and fixed the main relay. It still ran rough at
    idle and did worse as it ran longer.

    Well I cleaned the throttle bottle, put in a new PCV, and a new fuel
    filter. All of sudden it was running great, BUT after long it was
    idling rough sometimes (not as bad), and now a new problem exists. At
    driving RPMs the Tach goes crazy and it runs like poop.

    I am thinking its a bad coil, but before I go buy one I wanted to see
    what you all had to say. Did I do something wrong? Miss something? Or
    am I just taking one problem down at a time that allows other
    preexisting problems to run free?

    Thanks for all the help
    D

    Tach going nuts?
    1) Blue wire intermittent connection
    2) Igniter going bad.

    Check tach connection inside distributor, and at connector block.

    How clean is the EACV?


    No, not the coil at all.

    Hmmm.

    The ignitor is brand new.. Either I connected something wrong OR
    something is making it go bad, assuming it is bad. It also runs like
    poo while the tach is going crazy....

    I'll check the EACV, and the blue wire.

    Thanks

    I doubt it's thee main problem, but just to eliminate it: Did you purge air
    from the cooling system?

    ------------------------

    Is it the ignitor that has to have heatsink paste on the backside to
    prevent it overheating?
