    Have you checked for corrosion on the rotor arm and points. They can be very lightly sanded if corroded

    I rebuilt the distributor from my Integra, it's a simple job, yours is very similar.

    I ordered the parts from Southside Motor Factors, I got a coil, igniter and rotar arm. The car has been bouncing off 9500RPM all year without a bother. If you get the parts and want to do it yourself I'll do a guide

    What GITR said. My dizzy went wallop on my honda a few months back and I replaced the coil pack on the advice of G. 40 quid and a half hour later and up she started good as gold. Didn't even have to bother G for more advice. :) I will say the screw that holds in the rotor is a right evil bastard to crack and remove. Do NOT risk rounding it off or... oh god. Decent screwdriver all the way.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
