Greetings. I have a 1990 Honda Accord Ex 2.2 The car died. I have no spark to the plugs but spark to the distributor. I replaced the entire distributor with a new one. The car ran good afterwards for about 40 miles. Then the check engine code 4 came on (crank angle). The car bogged down under load. I took the car to a licensed mechanic who diagnosed a bad distributor. I took this back to the parts store and they replaced it. I installed the new distributor again and timed the engine. The check engine cleared out and the car had a lot of power and ran great....for about 40 miles then the same thing happened all over. Check engine code 4 (crank angle) and bogged down under load. It is hard to start. You have to crank it for about 5 to 8 seconds. Could I have gotten a bad distributor two times in a row or could something else be causing this? Ideas please. Thank you!
