RE: rpms go crazy

RE: rpms go crazy

For your year/engine, the tach signal comes from the ignitor (inside the distributor). So check connections again.

RE: rpms go crazy

I've seen spark breakdown due to bad plugs also cause rpm fluctuations (94 Accord EX). This is not good for ignitor or coil. Clean and regap or replace plugs. Also check wires for arcing w/ water mist sprayed at night. Any visible arcing indicates wires are cracked.

good luck
