IT RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

My honda accord 96 finally runs. the guy around the corner fom me came by and looked at it. turns out, half an hour later, it runs. there was a little bit of oil inside the distributor, causing it not to spark. the best part is, it was free.!

Congrats, its nice to find a problem that cost nothing to fix.

RE: IT RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

assuming it was the little oil in the distributor,,Unless you replace the distr the problem will arise again, there is a seal in the distr shaft that gets worn once it starts to leak you get oil inside the distr cap, you cannot get the seal ( that i know of ) so if it gets worse distr needs to be replaced

how much will a new distributor cost? does msd make one?

RE: IT RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

are there any kits to totaly redo all of the ignition system? also, i found a billet distributor for a 93 through 95 accord, but does msd make a billet distributor for a 96 accord? THANK YOU SO MUCH!

RE: IT RUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I found this distributor seal for hondas for ~$10. It is still expensive, but worth a shot.
