You could argue he was given insufficiently clear instructions on his task. Though a real tech should have figured it out. In a factory where I worked there was an OSHA potential violation identified, the 6 mill roll stands did not have individual identification placards. I wrote an order to the most recent hire: use the engraver and make 6 placards labeled Mill Roll Stand #1 - #6. I knew what I wanted but he didn't. Next time I checked all 6 mill roll stands had identical labels, Mill Roll Stand #1 - #6. I will admit that I have also cut a cable too close to a connection and quickly regretted it. |

| Peter Easthope <petereasthope@gmail.com>: Jan 28 06:25PM -0800 Hi, A 1990 Honda Civic Si, 1.6 liter here. The engine starts fairly easily. It begins to falter as it warms. After driving for 10-15 minutes it's barely running. If the engine is shut off or stalls, it won't restart until cooled to ambient. With an old mechanical distributor I would remove the cap with high voltage wires all connected. Rotate the crank shaft until points are closed. With the inside of the cap facing up, place a coin between the center contact and a spark plug contact, not touching both. Switch on the ignition. (Not the starter of course.) Then lift the points open with finger nail or screw driver tip. The spark should be visible jumping via the coin. The spark at each plug is easily checked by shifting the coin. In the Honda distributor, no points are visible and high voltage is created in a module inside the cap. No external coil as in the old style ignition. Can the coin test be done with this type of disributor? Thanks, ... Peter E., Pender Island, BC |
| "Peter W." <peterwieck33@gmail.com>: Jan 29 04:15AM -0800 Whether there is a visible coil or not, there is a coil, AKA "Ignition Control Module". A thermal fault in these devices is not uncommon, and the typical failure-mode (after 30 years). About a US$55 part, or so. That being written, do you have a spark when the system is hot? You can verify that rather easily by pulling any given sparkplug wire (at the plug), installing a spare plug, grounding said plug and checking for a spark by running the starter for a few seconds. Or, if you have an old-fashioned induction timing strobe, seeing if it will fire (with the wires connected). No spark, suspect the ignition module. Good Spark, suspect the fuel filter, fuel pump or fuel system. Old fuel filters will often flow fine until the dirt particles pull back into the elements under suction. So one attributes the failure to ignition... A filter is about a US$35 ordeal. Be systematic as repair-by-substitution is expensive. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/bwd-ignition-control-module-cbe550p/3038203-P?searchTerm=ignition%20control%20module https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/beck-arnley-fuel-filter-043-0928/18033674-P?searchTerm=fuel%20filter Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |
