You mean just the distributor sub-assembly.

Re: 91 civic crank angle senor
 

don't know if this'll get buried anyway in the forum. thought i'd give
a follow up.

took my distributer to napa tonight for warranty replacement. i bought
it last year, june 17th. five days left on that one! can you say
LUCK?

the guy at napa made no hassle whatsoever. he knows me probably a
little too well.

got home, threw in the new dist. car started right up. went for a
test drive after clearing ECU. drove for at least 15 minutes and
everything seemed fine. i was doubtful the dist was faulty (i'm pretty
skeptical after all the s**t i've been thru with cars), but figured
what the heck. she ran fine. i think the timing was a tad off, but
that can wait.

so keep your fingers crossed for me! this car just dodged a bullet by
five days. if the warranty had expired it would've gone to the junk
yard.

thanks to all.
