Distributor shorting out
The electircal components of the distributor keep getting fried. It takes about a half our of driving before the distributor goes out and its time to tow the car home. I redid the grounds in the engine bay yet the distributor still keeps shorting. Before it goes, when i give it some gas the lude is very laggy like there is no spark but eventually it picks up. If I continue drving after it starts getting laggy, eventually the distributor will short out. Any help is appreciated. BTW: 93 vtec.

Re: Distributor shorting out

Re: Distributor shorting out
is it jumping fire inside the distributor cap? too wide a spark plug gap will cause the plugs not to fire and the spark will jump in side the distributor cap.

Re: Distributor shorting out
I know that my 97 lude had a recall on the distributor and it was changed for free... maybe call a honda certified company and ask if there are any recalls on your car and if they have been fixed already or not
