DIY Repair: Honda CRV Gen 1 (RD1) Ignition System

Back in April 2013 during my routine weekly DIY checkup, my V suddenly stops. This happens when I tried to clean the Throttle Body Intake using Soft99 Carburetor & Injector Cleaner, at first I suspect some residue from the cleaner clogged in the Injector Nozzle or in the Intake Manifold. But after further checking I found out that there are no sparks coming from all the Sparks Plug Wire.

Indication: If I rev my car to high RPM the gas seems to be hampered

So there are 2 possibilities..
1. My Distributor
2. My Ignition Coil

After trying to bypass directly from the coil there still no sparks, then I conclude that the ignition coil is dead

Electrical Distributor Diagram - Ignition Coil
OEM Ignition Coil by TEC
Part Number: TC-08A
Manufacturer: TEC
Also used for: HONDA - Accord (Mk IV, V & VII) Civic (Mk IV - VI) CRV (RD I) CRX (Mk III), HRV, Prelude (Mk IV &V)

The OEM coil is not available in my nearest part shop, I only manage to find an exact type 3rd party product by the brand LKS (which cost me around $15)

Left - LKS / Right - TEC
After putting the coil back inside the ignition system.. starts the car.. take a little spin on the block and the problem solved..

PS: Please make sure you detach the battery first just to make sure there are no current on the wires

Bahasa:
Buat teman teman yang memiliki kedala dengan koil nya bisa mencari koil dengan type berikut:

Part Number: TC-08A
Produsen 
OEM: TEC atau DENSO
3rd Party: LKS

Koil ini identik dengan koil yang digunakan oleh Honda Civic Genio / Estilo atau Accord Cielo di Indonesia. Koil LKS saya beli dengan harga Rp.150.000 dan saat ini sudah memasuki bulan ke 7 pemakaian dan masih cukup normal.

Indikasi awal adalah gas terasa sedikit brebet saat di gas RPM tinggi dan cepat.

Proses penggantian koil cukup mudah dan tidak memakan waktu lama, hanya pastikan saat membongkar distributor cap kabel dari battere / aki sudah terlepas.
