    I have been having trouble with my 93 Civic starting after a rain.
    Considered all the most likely candidates and bought/replaced plug
    wires, distributor cap and rotor; still no go! Then, I noticed that the
    2" protrusion on my coil was completely GONE! Probably broken off from
    becoming brittle/ heat crystallized. Also, there was no d-cap o-ring
    when I started; go figure. Anyway, now my new problem is that I
    disconnected the 2 wires from the coil leading to the ignitor and don't
    remember which goes where (duh)! To add insult to injury, one of the
    wire's terminal ends broke and a contact screw is stuck in the old
    coil. Got the new screw/nut, new coil, new terminal end. Now, (help) -
    can someone please tell me which wire goes where when reconnecting to
    the ignitor. The 2 terminal ends are the ones on the ignitor closest to
    the coil. Thanks

    The two drawings at
    http://home.earthlink.net/~honda.lioness/id5.html should
    help you to identify and correctly connect the wires.

    The + side of the coil (black with a yellow stripe) goes to Terminal 3 of
    the igniter.

    The - side of the coil (white with a blue stripe) goes to Terminal 2 of the
    igniter.

    Thanks to all who offered assistance: Fired right up! New plugs wires,
    plugs, d-cap, rotor, and coil. Hopefully this will keep her running
    nicley for a good bit.
