I need help with trouble shooting my honda. Yesterday while driving @ 55mph my car gave a jolt, and then no acceleration. I immediately pulled over , and turned off the car. It will turn over, but not start up, also replaced the ignition coil. I think it mite be the control module inside the distributor. The motor not getting any fire. Any suggestions as to what it could be??? Has 186k on motor. ---

How Much Time And How Many Miles Has Elapsed Since The Timing Belt Was Replaced ? I don’t know if the distributor runs off the camshaft in your car, but looking with the distributor cap off, does the ignition rotor turn when somebody cranks the engine for you ? If it’s not going around then that explains the lack of fire. That 2.2 L is an “interference” design engine and if it’s the timing belt that let go then it’s possible you have some pretty severe engine damage. (The pistons collide with the valves). CSA ---

the distributor does run off of the camshaft. But the problem was the ignition control module. I replaced that and it started right up. I pulled the valve cover off to see if the timing belt broke, but it didn’t but did notice that the belt was loose so I figured it mite have jumped time. checked the timing marks and everything was still in time. So then I went back to the firing problem and changed out the control module and that fixed it. Thanks for helping
