    Changing distributer
    I have a 1988 Honda CRX 1.5 motor, have changed out plugs, wires, fuel filter, timing belt, water pump(as recommended when changing timing belt). It was missing under load on what sounded like more than one cylinder. After putting in the new parts it is still missing. I can't tell if it is fuel or electrical related. If it is perhaps in the distributor, I'm not familiar with the inner parts of it, can I get a little input on where to go from here?

    It sounds like it's time to replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil inside the distributor. Be sure to coat the back of the new ICM with a thin, even coat of silicone heat transfer compound. This is a good time to change the distributor cap and rotor, if they have not been replaced in 60,000 miles.
