How can i tell if my distributor coil is bad?
Asked by justme2012 Jul 10, 2012 at 11:20 PM about the 1999 Acura Integra 2 Dr LS Hatchback
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have a 99 Acura Integra, just had another motor put in, now when i get to 30mph it feels like it's not getting gas, if i push hard on the gas it's almost like the gas rushes in and then it goes. Someone told me it could be my distributor coil. How can I tell if that is it?

this is hard one to find without some work. Also does the car idle rough of is it only under acceleration that it has hesitation? If its at idle it very well could be a bad coil-pack. If you can take the car to someone with a computer that can read the OBD2 data they would be able to see if the car is getting miss-fires in a specific cylinder. Then you move the bad coil-pack around to see if the missfire follows the coil-pack. But before all this just change the spark plugs. See if that helps. This could also be a bad or clogged fuel filter as well, depending on mileage. If you are not mechanically inclined a professional service techn is the best way for you to go about fixing this.

My Acura is a automatic, 98 not 99(sorry) the idle seems to be fine. I replaced all the spark plugs and the fuel fiter, air filter also.Someone told me the problem could be because the motor i had put in is American and the computer is Japan. I forgot to mention that the check engine lt does not come on at all.
