A bad coil should not cause a code 15.

Are you sure that an igniter came with the new distributor? The reason I ask is that you can order the distributor housing that comes without the igniter, cap, and rotor.

Will the car start now? Do you have a volt meter and also a 12V test light?

Took the distributor apart, had the new ignitor. I noticed when putting the distributor back together, that one of my spark plug wires (to the distributor not coil) had the copper end pushed too far into the plug. So i got some pliers and pulled it out to match the length of the other ones, have not driven the car yet since i fixed that.

Is there a possibility it was something as small as that giving me the code? maybe my engine shaking the 1 connection a little loose caused it to stall?

Also the car always turns on from a cold start, it only stalls while driving atm.

That may explain why you are going through coils.

If the spark generated by the coil could not reach the plug wire, the spark can ground through the coil and damage it.

What I do with my spark plug wires is pull the boot way back, then insert the copper part into the distributor cap. Then I push the boot up until it seats on the cap.

Wasnt the plugs apparently, is there somewhere I can find a wiring diagram? It has to be something elsewhere.

MR. JESSEB~~ I have all the same issues... Ive replaced the ignitor, and cap, and rotor... had a code 15.. I reset the ECU, and now after shorting the blue connector, my CEL will stay lit, untill I disconect the short. From what I have read from MR. PAHONDA, it is a Bad ECU. I will have a new ECU in by 4 pm today, and Ill let you guys know If it has worked for me.

So I bought 2 ecu's and neither of them have fixed my issue... CEL stays lit when service wires are bridged... Any idea what to do or check into next???

Jesseb_- Did you get your issues resolved? What was the problem??

When you jumper the SCS connector, a solid-on CEL indicates there's no stored error codes. That doesn't necessarily mean a bad ECU.

For PAHonda's thread, I suspect there was more to the story than just a solid-on CEL.

Listen very carefully to what I have to say, after two new igniters, a new distributor, ignition coil, spark plug wires. IDC how many new things you have something can still be bad. I personally replaced the igniter in my car with one from autozone, with a good coating of silicon-based heat sync gel and it has not given me a problem since. Im pretty sure error code 15 is almost always the igniter especially if its giving you that problem.

I recommend that you take it to a specialist to have the igniter installed, or if you feel comfortable self installing it, make sure the spark plugs are re-attached in the correct spots and distributor is remounted perfectly.

Thanks .. yea I heard on another forum and from a Honda tech it needs that heat synk... and not to do anything else till I do that. It will be done tonight... and we will see...

heat synk is done... car ran great for 20-30 mins... when I turned it off, I decided to try and start it back up... it did not start back up. Now Im having more issues... when I rotate the key, there is no CEL anymore at all, just gone.... im lost
