Actually, I like OBD2 for completely stock cars, but OBD1 for tuner cars. I'm glad my 5th gen is OBD2... it told me exactly what was wrong, unlike my 4th gen... it just tells me there is a problem with the fuel system or the 02 sensor (somewhere). The 5th gen just told me exatly why it throws a code for the O2 and what was up with the fuel system.
On top of that, with a $50 reader, the newer car tells me in words and numbers what is wrong. OBD1 just blinks the CEL at me.
Anyways Tom, the Coil is around $100 for a new one everywhere I've looked. They don't fail or wear enough to care about.
Damnit Burt, stop coming up with such intelligent logical answers, you're giving me a headache.

| Okay, so here's the deal: I put in my NGK wires and drove to go work for my dad again. After about 45 minutes on the road the CEL came on again. So on my way home I bought a cap and rotor. The old cap looked decent, but the rotor was toast. It is all corroded at the end of the contact point and there is a small burn just below it. So I hope this solves my problem because the only other things it could be is spark plugs ($50) or an injector ($160 from honda, $121 online). Wish me luck.

| So I replaced the spark plug in cylinder 1 and the Cel came back. Then I replaced my main ground because it was corroded all the way through. I drove to C-bus and back with no Cel until..... it came back on as I was getting off the freeway at Loren's exit. I am so pissed right now. I checked the Helms and it says to check everything from switching injectors between cylinders ( which I don't want to do because you have to replace the seals and o-rings when you remove them) to determine if it is an injector, to checking valve clearance, compression\leakdown, fuel pressure, blah blah blah. I don't know where to start. Fuck a B.

| | If you're careful, you don't need to replace injector seals when you play with the fuel system. Same with the crush washers around the banjo bolts. Check the internal resistance of the injectors while you're checking the injectors. They should all be the same (or really close).

| Okay, so I did a valve adjustment, and the CEL came back on. Then I cleared it, and it hasn't been back on since, and I haven't done anything else to the luuuude since then. I'm baffled. It's been a week with no CEL, so..... I guess it's good, but knowing my luck the CEL won't come back on until I'm in line at e-check next summer.
