Evening chaps,
Had to be recovered 4 days into Prelude ownership. No spark. Recovery chap reckons either coilpack or crankshaft sensor.
Any other logical things it could possibly be? And try as I might I can't find a price online for the crank sensor, any ideas on that one?
Thanks chaps in advance!

The coil is inside the dizzy, you can test it with a multi meter to see if its within tolerance. The're known for being a bit flakey on ludes. The test procedure is in the manual.

Thanks chaps, I'll give it a bash IF I can find my multimeter
They are cheap enough to buy a new one anyways, so will likely replace it anyway.
Any tips on getting a well and truly stuck on rotor arm off?

Well I have a dizzy cap coming to me, I am hoping it's that and not the rotor arm as that ain't coming off without a fight and maybe some drills

I had the same issue. It was the coilpack on mine, I got a new one of ebay for £22.

Cheers, noobish question. Never had to work on a Honda before, is the coilpack removed easy (ie without taking rotor arm off)? I'm guessing not but hoping none the less.
