That's just the cap, I think the problem is caused by the ignitor unit in the dizzy, although I'm not sure and someone will correct me if I'm wrong but definitely the cap won't be the problem.

Fair enough then, maybe you'll be lucky and that will sort it. :)

Ignitor unit inside dizzy.

Right today was a eventful day I done a full on dizzy overhaul!!

New cap

New Rotor

New ingitor Unit! :o

+ Other bits

I was lucky a while back to find a whole dizzy on ebay for £50 posted that had all new interals even the ingitor unit (£450 from honda :shock: )

So today changed everything over so now i have all spanking new bits! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Took the VTi for a spin and wow what a difference can't belive it :shock: car feels so much better! running like completly different car now ;)

So now need to got dynodaze to do another power run as everyone was saying that the distributor was holding me back on the power figures :x

Cutting out, if dizzy related which it likely is. Will be is as said the ignitor. Easier just change the whole dizzy. As I mention I baught complete unit for 70 quid including new cap etc.

Btw are you getting engine management light?

I think dizzy shows code 15 ignition control output or something like that.

no no lights on at all. i pulled the wires out near the cap the block and wiggled them all and its no cut out since. could be just a coincidence that it not cut out now where did u get it for 70 pound ?

Hopefully simple as that then!

I baught it new from eBay. Was advised not to buy cheap but it was all I could afford at the time. And two years later and many thousands of miles. Still works a treat.

  • 2 weeks later...

Car has not cut out for 2 weeks. Ive put a new cap and arm on the other day, couple of hours later it stopped on me again with no warning at all . would not start for about half an hour. Tried turning it over and it was bubbling like it was out of petrol (but had petrol in it). Pushed it down road and it started again and fires up fine ever since.

Not cut out for another 2 days. resoldered the relay this morning but it does smell a bit burnt.

any other ideas as i dont want to buy the ignitor if its going to cost me a fortune.

No missing, no juddering just cuts out with no warning.

had a word with a few mechanics and as someone has said on here if it was the ignitor it would probably goes from missing to not running at all and mine isnt missing at all. No engine management lights come on at all.

Do you think i should just buy a relay and hope for the best.

Need to get it sorted as it keeps cutting out on the wife when shes got the kids in the car and shes useless at breaking down.

On a better note it is pulling better with the new cap on.
