accel performance wires for a b-series, they worked for about 12 miles before the car died on me, i was comming up an offramp and i downshifted from 5th to 2nd to slow down, and it sputtered then died, and never fired back up, kinda acted like it wanted to start a few time, and it did once, but ran like it was on 3 cylinders, timings fine, compression is still great, im down to thinkin its my ignitor or some fuse somewhere, but what would shut my vafc off and not turn it back on??,,

i would check your ignitor pack inside the distributor or the main relay. as for as the vafc, check to make sure you didnt accidently cut a wire down by the ecu.

Yeah check the fuses and if at all possible borrow someone on heres dist real quick and see if its actually in the dist its self. My buddys did the same exact thing almost to the T on what your sayin and we ended up changing everyting around back to stock and still nothing so we redid it back to before with everything and slapped a new dist in along with it and it fired right up and it run's its ass off.

We took the dist off and sent it to honda which supposebly checked it out and said it was perfect but honestly it wasn't lol so like I said borrow a dist if ya can.
