Distributer question

pbryant_knight · Post by **pbryant_knight** » Sat May 18, 2013 4:58 pm

Hi all. It looks like it may be the distributer that's masking my car fail to start. It's a 1998 2.0i auto.

Are all 5th gen distributers the same? Will a 2.2 dizzy fit my 2.0?

Cheers

Peter

I think they might be different bud

can you take a look at your dizzy and see if there is a number on it. Jdm 2.2 5th gens have a TD89-u dizzy

It looks like they are different.
@rob quilter might still have one off his 2 litre?

Have you tried the main realy? Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition on? If so its not that and it will be coil pack in the dizzy like you say.

And if this helps some 2.0 Rovers have the very same dizzy so it will be cheaper to buy too and easier to find than a 2.0 honda

Yeah, the fuel pump primes and is working fine.

I'll have a hunt around and mail Rob Quilter. Cheers for all the help guys

im sure u may have fixed this by now but..... just in case

i took a complete distributor off a 2.0 to replace mine on my previous 2.2 auto n it was different. however, on the plus side the coil inside was identical!! so i just cleaned the brushes, replaced the actual coil and all was fine

He's bought my complete distributor, so should hopefully fix it.
