crx keeps frying distributors

[coreylol]

about a month ago my car was going dead randomly, but it would always start back up. then one day it went dead for good. i checked and it had no spark. so i put on a distributor from my other crx and it started right up. the car ran fine for about a week and then it went dead again today. i put another coil in it and it started up but sputtered a TON then went dead again.

what should i check first?

check your grounds, main relay, and ecu

[coreylol]

main relay is good, i'll check my grounds tomorrow. the only other ecu i have is a crx HF..would that even start the car?

[DeeAOne]

sounds to me to definitely be either a short that killing your coil, or ground not making good contact. no clue about that ECU though.

i'm gonna check the grounds tomorrow. i REALLY hope it's not a short in the wiring.

btw, that 323 is awesome.

HF ecu will work if and only if your current engine in the CRX is dual point injection.

the HF uses MPFI, DX uses DPFI

ALL CRX's are DPFI except the SI model, if yours is a HF and it indeed is MPFI, then it was converted either by you or previous owner
