Thanks for all help Tegger and jim beam,
Problem was definately the ignitor.
Went with your advices and purchsased Honda parts, the
ignitor/ICM was ($126).
installed ICM and car fired right up.
the bent dist. cap contact spring must have come from some lazy
azz who did not want to pull spark plug wires to put distributor
cap back on (dealer replaced the distributor about 3 years ago)
but that seems to just mean the shell/housing as they transfered
all the old internal parts {ICM,coil, rotor, dist cap} to the
new distributor housing
I went ahead and checked the Mains Relay (for solder problems)...
i must have the new design as there was lots of solder on the
connections with very large traces between the connections,
looked good to me.
thanks again for the help.
