Scotty Kilmer wondering if you could answer a question about the similar situation bt with a 99 crv. Things drove fine all morning. Than in the evening fired up fine iddled and than died after i shifted into drive. Swapped a new distributer on with wires and plugs. But nadda fuel is getting there and the starters still working. But it seems like it not getting spark but that dizi worked fine when used on another b20 motor.

Because I'm a professional mechanic, when I fix em, I want em to stayed fixed. I used to change igniters, then often in a few months they'd be back broken again. On an older car, best to not use pieces of electrical parts for fixes. I know, been doing it 44 years. I do what's most logical for a long term fix.

I’d pull the spark plugs, and the wires. Check the plugs see if they are black/burned/browning on the top etc. Check the plugs for oil etc, and Hondas are notorious for leaking distributor. The rotor and cap could be bad as well, check rotor for burning on edge and cap for worn out contact points. 97 accord with almost 200k and my distributor is still running strong. But if it is your distributor I’d check rockauto.

Did you have to do any other steps for timing?

That was cool Scotty, You work so easy that even the rain cannot stop you from fixing a car,👍You are a good man, keep up with the good work.

I use scotty's videos as ASMR too cause he relaxes me.. in addition to be super awesome all the time

bad ignition control modules often do that, as to bad fuel pumps. Have both tested.

Thank you so much. My crx stalled while I was driving to work and I couldn’t get it to turn over. Replaced the distributor with your help and runs great now

mark it for direction on some cars, but on many like hondas they only go in one way due to notches on the drive where it fits in

I've been watching Scotty's videos since I was in high school and I'm 21, now. I love this guy.

@happy543210 Yes, you can do that also. but if the timing belt was broken the engine would have sounded much different when cranking, it would have cranked MUCH faster than normal. Scotty

You gotta love this guy makin videos out in the rain for you guys.!!

@gregmac101087 any auto parts store can order them, or use 713 227 1544

@sherrytucker if it has power to the dist, but no spark coming out in a Honda, that means the inside of the dist is shot. If you don't mark em, now buy a manual that shows how to set up TDC on your engine and how to put the dist back in at top dead center. Scotty

check your amp wiring, and realize you may need a higher amp alternator if it drags too much power

depends on how you use the leads, you can use em to ground the plugs

many things can go wrong on a timing belt change, but number one is damaging sensors, like crank sensors, check that first. And also recheck timing marks on cams and crank to see if belt has slippped

I don't use cheap Chinese distributors. I know years ago they were terrible and they've come a long way but, I've had trouble with one or two recently. I'm right back to buying OEM remans or replacing the internals.

hi, thanks for the video - I have ordered a new distributor and this is very helpful. One question though - not too sure how you are using the white paint - I find that bit rather confusing because you paint the new distributor after you position it (and then the paint disappears anyway). On the video it looks as if the distributor can only be fixed in one position anyway - can it be adjusted? Also how do you make sure that the rotor faces the right way? Can it be rotated easily? Many thanks!

It's usually the coil or the ICM inside the distributor . Much cheaper to get than a whole new distributor. Still a good instruction video :)

Scotty I just used this method to replace that heater hose. It is much easier if you remove the distributor. Thanks for giving me the confidence to do this job!

@Bushougoma Yes, cause many things can break inside the dist, that's why I use brand new units, not rebuilts. Scotty

@mountpunchmore na, just the dist. After you get it running, you use a timing light to make it perfect. honda dists only go in one way, they are off center, so you will be close first time.

Hey scotty, my wifes car is a 1997 nissan altima, we think the distributor is going bad, itll run good driving it most of the time but randomly, especially stopping at stop signs/lights, etc. Itll act like it wants to shutoff and (sometimes it does stall, revving it stops it from stalling usually) and when she accelerates from a stop itll jerk and sputter and hesitate for a few seconds and then afterwards is ok, it happens under any driving condition, hot or cold, engine warm or cold. Put in new spark plugs, wires are ok, new fuel filter, cleaned throttle body, replaced a broken vacuum hose, cleaned MAF sensor, trans fluid is clean and shifts great, fresh oil/filter change, battery is new, terminals are clean. All my research into these issues seems to be pointing to distributor. Thank you so much Scotty, love your videos, I learned a lot from you!

@Mr. Untouchable what you say might have made sense if he put the old one back on, or showed that he spent time clocking the new one. He did neither.

@RyanBissell

​@Mr. Untouchable I don't doubt you in the slightest. Makes good sense. But 'whether he was joking or not' *is* relevant, because that's what my comment was about. Based only on what Scotty showed us, in this video it seems his mark did him no good. ...Maybe it's good standard practice for many models, so he demonstrated it, despite not actually needing it on this one? I do see the adjustment slots, that's why I mentioned clocking. If he cared about that, you'd have seen him painting the new distributor by referencing the old one, rather than adding a mark to match the engine's mark after the job's already done. If you still think I'm missing something here, feel free to speak up again.

definitely try a new coil, and chec, the wiring on the ignition system, both the power wires AND the ground wires.

I agree with Scotty, worth the gamble. First is to check vacuum hoses are in-place and are placed in the right places. Also check for vacuum leaks or just replace them all, by purchasing those new and nice looking silicone vacuum hoses. Lot's of videos to look at too. Have the engine tuned. And have the intake manifold, throttle body and IACV cleaned. Replace with standard sparkplugs like Denso(K16PR-U11) or NGK BKR6E11(G-Power or V-Power).  From research and experience standard ones are better because they are copper compared to those iridium and platinum. They are more expensive not for their conductivity but their durability. The iridium and platinum are less conductors than the standard ones. You don't need durable plugs for standard to even high rev driving because time will come that you have to replace them. Replace these with new stuff: 1. Spark Plugs 2. SparkPllug Cables/Tension Wires (Denso/NGK/MSD or Splitfire) 3. Do an Oil Change (Pennzoil, Valvoline, Mobil1, Castrol Edge, fully synthetic) 4. Drain and Replenish with fresh Brake Fluid including for the clutch right beside the brake reservoir. (amber color if fresh) 5. New Drop-In air filter

@othatsteve Yes, you can hook up a timing light, but matching lines works pretty well, after all, Hondas only have a tiny amount of adjustment on the dist anyway. Scotty

okay scotty... i broke down and sent my car into a shop because i simply did not have anymore time to predict when my car would or wouldn't start up... and you were right. it was the distributor. both you, and my gut told me it was.

Scotty-love your vids.watch them all. very educational. thx for all the hard work.

@lajlijthoj if the dist has power going into it when you turn the key on, but no spark comes out to the spark plugs, the dist is bad.

@mi16t AH, read some of my other advice, only Certain chinese parts. I've had great luck with chinese brand new japanese car distributors. But as for stuff like MAF sensors for German cars, they work like crap on those. Nothing is as simple as you might think. Most American cars come with lots of chinese made parts on them from the factory if you check closely these days.

@afijas tons of things can do that, so change the fuel filter first and then check the fuel pressure, if it's low then replace the fuel pump. then pray it's not more complex. Scotty

You are making excellent educational videos! May God bless you! Keep up with your superb work! You rock at it, Scotty!

@Haddarack could be a timing belt, take the dist cap off and crank it. If the rotor doesn't turn, the belt snapped. Scotty

@spelunkerd That's true, but normally they will turn over REALLY slow in a case like yours. I've only ever seen one vehicle like that in all my years of working on cars. Scotty

this happened to my honda crx 1991 today scotty. if it really is the distributor on my crx then i will give you high up respects! hope my mechanic knows!

@quydaica random no starts are cows to figure out. But in those, if the battery is good, generally it's the starter beginning to wear out, see that all the time in Hondas. Scotty

Whoa Scotty- this video answers exactly what I was looking for my daughter's '90 Civic Hatch...thanks so much. FYI while hunting parts I happened to find an OEM company called Rich Porter Technology (Montreal) supplies distributors...not sure if they mfr or import.

@PabloMessier Many things can cause hard start, but normally it's dirty fuel injectors or weak pumps. Try my video "how to clean fuel injectors in your car" and do that first. Scotty

Scotty your the best brother so much honest info..i watch your videos all the time keep them coming

@mountpunchmore random misfire is often cause by bad dists, I'd start ther myself. the other codes won't keep it from starting. Scotty

Scotty, Just a follow up on my 94 Ford Aspire that died on the road. It was the wiring to the distributor that went bad. Mechanic repaired it for $50, which to me was a great deal!!

Thank you Scottie you have helped me a lot!

Love the good attitude and easy, helpful information. ✌😎

@Snakecharmer21xx replace the o ring that seals the dist shaft, you pull the dist out to change that. Then pray it's not the inside seal of the dist, as you would have to replace the dist for that. Scotty
