Overheated due to a failed T stat which was replaced
Car: Honda, Accord, 1993 Back to question page
Question:I'm working on a 93 Honda Accord. Vehicle overheated due to a failed T stat which was replaced. Ever since, have had an ignition problem. Sometimes I can get it to start for a few seconds then the spark stops. When I crank the engine with the coil wire pulled from the distributor and hold the lead up to ground I only get an occassional spark. Is there any one electrical component in this year Honda that would be likely to fail if it was overheated such as the coil? Is there a way that I can bypass the ignition switch and supply current directly to the ignition system so as to eliminate the ignition switch as a possible problem? The two leads coming out of my distributor are a two wire plug and an 8 wire plug. I have a 4 wire plug going into the back of the ignition coil. Hope you can give me some advise on this one.
