Hey everybody,
Newbie to this site, got a question for those more knowledgeable amongst you.
Have a 93 Del Sol with a D16Z6, have had misfiring issues for a long time. All the spark plugs are decent, cables have been replaced numerous times (Just today ensured all connections good, and firing order correct) This is the third ignition coil in the last year. I replaced first one, honda replaced second; but now two months later out of tune again. Checked resistance of ignition coil: secondary resistance is fine but primary resistance is 1.2 (a little high). There is a fair bit of carbon scoring on the rotor (polished off) and on the distributor cap contacts (polished off as well).
I can't for the life of me figure out why the ignition coil seems to be going so often. Honda said that the rotor in the last one was arcing with the ignition coil, but I could not see why it would happen again so soon.
As a side note, and possibly related - my oil gets dirty really quickly. I do oil changes every 5000km but each time it is black.
Sorry for such a long post, I hope some of you can be of assistance.
Thanks :beer:
