The original distributor in my 93 Civic EX died a bit ago (and it wasn't just the coil) and now my new one is dead (tried replacing the coil and it did nothing). So who makes a decent replacement? Majestic Honda doesn't have any OEM ones or I'd get one of those.

You should find the parts by scrolling down to the (near) bottom.

It's probably the Ignition Control Module that failed. Delphi brand on RockAuto is a rebranded Hitachi (OEM).

You think? Does that act the same as a distributor? This is acting like every other Civic where my distributor or ignition coil has gone out.

The ICM is inside the distributor- they burn out and fail. If you replace it and the coil you should be good to go.

Ok cool. I already did the coil so I will get one of those.

Im my experience unless the distributor is full of "red death", a ICM or coil fixes most ills.  I haven't had luck with aftermarket.  Customers used to bring in cars with Brand New Distributors from AutoZone and whatnot all the time as no starts.  I usually kept a couple functional distributors in the bottom of my toolbox to prove to them the new part was bad.

 

Also, you gotta call them "Dizzys" if you want to be a cool kid on HondaTech in 2005 laugh
