Question re: '92 Accord Ignition Control Module
Hi To All: My wife's '92 Accord LX died today as she was coasting to a stop, fortunately at a slow speed on a neighborhood street. It seemed like the battery at first, but a jump did no good and a subsequent check of the voltage showed that this was OK. Only after the car sat for awhile was I finally able to start it again, otherwise it would just turn over. I got up to 20 mph and then the vehicle suddenly went dead. This was a bit scary. My first thought (based on reading this board) was the igniter, but Canadian Tire called and said that the "ignition control module" was bad. Question: are these just the same part? Also, what is the funciton of a related part called a "pickup"? Thanks in advance for any help. - Paul D. |
Re: Question re: '92 Accord Ignition Control Module
If you turn on the key and leave it on for 5 seconds:
Is the check engine light on, or does it go off after a couple seconds ? Is the sports light flashing ? G |

Re: Question re: '92 Accord Ignition Control Module
Hi : I guess that's a moot issue now, since Canadian Tire is already ordering the ICM for installation tomorrow. Wish I'd known to try this before I turned the car in to them, but my wife has to have it for later this week so I couldn't wait. Just curious...what would this protocol have told me in terms of diagnostic information? I'd really like to learn all I can.Thanks. - Paul.

Or any car. If the tach acts erratically before stalling and dash lights remain lit, I would suspect the igniter or ignition coil. If the tach instantly drops to 0 when it stalls and no dash lights come on, I would suspect the ignition switch. |

Re: Question re: '92 Accord Ignition Control Module
That would be the former scenario which you mentioned, at least in this case. The tach did not instantaeously drop to zero. I therefore am back to suspecting the igniter, at least if I understand you correctly. - Paul.

Re: Question re: '92 Accord Ignition Control Module
Hi: One more question...do you guys happen to know whether the Bosch or Huco Igniters would be of better quality than what you get at the dealer? I couldn't find a Honda brand igniter/ignition coil module per se. Also, Canadian Tire replaced this part with a "Niefhoff", which I've never hear of. - Paul On Thu, 02 Aug 2007 15:15:12 -0400, dgk <dgk@somewhere.com> wrote: >On Thu, 02 Aug 2007 09:44:15 -0400, Paul D <pauls@hotmail.com> wrote: > >> >>>I had something similar a few months back where the car just died >>>while backing out of a parking spot.

Re: Question re: '92 Accord Ignition Control Module
Based on both my experience with my 1991 Civic and reading
here, I now feel OEM is the only way to go for any ignition (= distributor on down to the spark plugs) parts. The OEM parts pay for themselves in longevity, with the caveat that buying them at online OEM parts dealers is your best bet by far. Not sure what Canada offers for online, though.

Hi - You just confirmed what I had heard earlier from others, namely that OEM is the best way to go on certain Honda components. Sounds like distributor and ignition parts both fall into this category, so I will plan to go ahead and change out the generic igniter since it's such a big safety concern. Many thanks for your assistance and have a great weekend. - Paul. |
