OK. Going to keep this thread open and see what happens. Clean slate. FYI if anyone starts giving anyone any s**t in this thread - infractions will be handed out.

First and foremost: type correctly. This will help others understand you better, and in return provide better answers for you. Take the extra time to proof read your posts and sure that everything sounds normal.

So back to the basics. In the previous thread, you said that a mechanic tested the voltage to the blk/yel wire, and that there was none. Can you confirm this by testing it yourself? This way we know for sure rather than going by the mechanic, especially since you said they were incompetent down there.

Before you ask any other questions, please provide an answer to mine above.

Thanks!

Have you taken the time to read his entire previous thread? He's unwilling to do any mechanical/electrical troubleshooting or work. Can you or he refute this assertion?

For example, I have already provided him with detailed troubleshooting instructions and they remain ignored. Why not have him start there?

I did read it, yes. And I know you did. Which is why I started with one of the basic questions you had asked in the last thread in regards to checking the voltage himself.

In my first post i put that i tested the voltage

I told you in the last thread dash fuse 9 is good it was on the bottom of page 1 you overlooked it. And that the distributor connector isnt getting voltage. Ive checked these myself

Can you explain why you removed my replies toward Ron? And did you go over the last thread and see were he told me to take it to a mechanic after i stated that are bad and that i did do his troubleshooting methods he just ignored my posts where i stated i did

Because, as I said, if anyone gives anyone s**t, infractions will be given. Anything off-topic, and not pertaining to your issue was removed. Both yours and RonJs post.

The reason that your last thread failed was because you never responded to their questions FULLY. Provide as much detail as you can. See below:

So you've confirmed that the distributor isn't getting power as the blk/yel wire isn't reading any voltage. So for now, we can assume that the distributor is not the main cause of the issue. Ron's next step was to have you check Fuse 9. You said you checked Fuse 9, and that it was good. Did you voltage test this fuse, or just look at it and assume it was good? A voltage test will provide more accurate results than the eye.

Before any further testing or questions, please confirm that you have done the voltage test on Fuse 9, and that both tabs have voltage.

Thanks

Great. So, we can assume that Fuse 9 is good as long as you did the voltage test on it.

Now, Since Ron has technical knowledge way above myself, I'm copying this from his Honda-Tech post:

Test continuity between pin 1 in C419 and pin 10 in C101.

You said you tested this in the Honda-Tech thread, but Ron suggested that you do an ohm test and not a voltage test. Please do that, and report back.
