I am not sure what differances you are talking about.
Is it where the leads plug into the dizzy cap?
If that is the question. The plug leads on my car all come out of the dizzy cap top(2nd). It is with the leads pointing towards the under bonnet fuse box on my car. It is differant to the one's you posted (as that is for a 8 cylinder or something) because instead of the leads cliping on as in the pic they plug in as with a normal dizzy cap.
I have seen a accord with the other type of cap (1st)where they all come out next to each other. (where they plug into the side of the cap and not the top)

Is that the question you are asking???

Hi Mike
not to sure if it will fit or not. I know there are two differant types of dizzy on our cars but not sure if the caps are differant or not.
What sort of cap is on it now?
Can you not get a cap the same as is on?
I got mine from a motor factors just round the corner from my house.(non honda part but in stock)
I cant see that honda would use a totally diferant dizzy on what is basically the same engine.... then again we are talking honda here so anything is possible.
If the caps are differant let me know and I could get one for you from a local auto factor and send it if that would help.

**shepherd79** · 06-12-2002, 05:01 AM

none of them will fit on our cars.
our cap is a lot smaller.

**POS carb** · 06-12-2002, 09:40 AM

Their cars are european models

<edit> mike that 2nd pic is for a V8, why did u post it? <edit>

**RCracer** · 06-12-2002, 12:19 PM

Mike
I have taken a few pics of the dizzy cap on my car.
I will email the rest of them to you if you want them as they are to big to post and Im not resizing them:lol

I know the lead is off I pulled it off so that it is obvious how they fit the cap.

Let me know if this pic helps.

Paul

**ACCORD EX** · 06-12-2002, 01:57 PM

shepherd79 & POS CARB : this pics are not for our cars i just wanted to ask if the cables come out the near each other like the first pic or like the second pic towards the fuse box !

Paul : thnx a lot for your help i know i bothered you !
anyway the reason i am asking this that i ordered plug wires and then came and 2 cables were short ! so i thought they will fit on the other cap and my cap wasn't original one !

anyway i now suspect my firing order ! while the 2 cables are just a couple of cm short
so here are two pics ! could you just tell me which cable on the distributer cap (it's numbered in letters a,b,c,d ) will go to it 's cylinder # in pic 2 !
thnx a lot paul ! you are the only one who can help me !

Hi Mike
as per usual in the UK its raining (its been sunny all day when I took the pics) and its dark. I will get the info you want and post it tommorow morning.

Paul

and Mike it's no trouble.

I realy dont mind.

**ACCORD EX** · 06-12-2002, 02:59 PM

thnx paul ! and take your time ! it's really cool that we have the same engines !

MIKE

**POS carb** · 06-12-2002, 03:05 PM

u got your cylinder #'s backwards there bro, you start counting at the crank pulley.

**ACCORD EX** · 06-12-2002, 03:09 PM

thnx Eric but it really doesn't matter !
i just want him to match ( a,b,c,d) with ( 1,2,3,4 )

MIKE

**POS carb** · 06-12-2002, 03:27 PM

oh I thought u hooked up your wires backwards, just thought I'd warn u in case u didn't realize it

***carotman*** · 06-12-2002, 03:35 PM

The firing order is 1-3-4-2 (with the correct cylinder numbers)

**smufguy** · 06-12-2002, 05:50 PM

the firing order for me is 1234 cause i have a shotgun.

okay enough being a dumbass. What is unique about a A20A2? is it just a name for the engine for diff country? cause i dont see a A20A2 around here. its A20A1 and A20A3. besides, the compression ratios are not the same for A20A1 and A20A3 is it?

***A20A1*** · 06-12-2002, 10:32 PM

hmm... thats a neat distributor cap... more like the b20's cap... or other dohc engines...

Just buy an umbrella Paul

**RCracer** · 06-13-2002, 01:21 AM

Hi Mike

using your lettering and numbering from the previous pic.

1 d
2 b
3 c
4 a

hope that helps and it answers your questions.

Paul

If I used an umbrella every time it rains over here I would be living under a umbrella most of the time :lol :lol :lol
You have to like rain to live in the UK...
