Yes. First, in the fuse block under the hood check INJ A fuse and INJ B fuse. INJ A fuse is circuit 1039 which feeds the coil. If the fuse is OK, replace the coil electrical connector. I stock 2 of these at my dealership because they are needed quite often.
FYI P1351 is an ignition coil control circuit DTC.

Hi, since you've replaced everything else, about the only thing left is the crankshaft position sensor. This is the sensor the computer uses to time the spark signals. Because this sensor is expensive, I recommend you test it first to verify it's bad before replacing. I have pasted test procedures below as well as replacement procedure in case it fails the tests. You will need an ohmmeter for the test. If you don't have an ohmmeter, you can buy one for as little as $10, or maybe you can borrow one. You will also need a timing light if you replace the sensor. Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using FixYa.


TESTING CRV and 1995 Odyssey Models

  1. With the ignition switch OFF , detach the electrical connector on the side of the distributor housing.
  2. Measure the resistance between the following two CKP wires:

    CRV models: The blue and white wires. The resistance should be 300-700 ohms. 1995 Odyssey models: The blue/green and blue/yellow wires. The resistance should be 700-1,300 ohms.
  3. If the resistance is not in the specified range, replace the distributor ignition housing.


REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CRV and 1995 Odyssey Models

  1. Remove the negative battery cable.
  2. Remove the distributor cap leaving the wires attached and place aside.
  3. Disconnect the electrical connectors at the side of the distributor housing.
  4. Make a matchmark reference mark between the distributor housing and the cylinder head and remove the distributor housing assembly.

To install:
  1. Transfer the components not supplied with the replacement distributor housing assembly.
  2. Install the distributor housing assembly in the reverse order of removal.

7. Check and reset the ignition timing as outlined below.

ADJUSTMENT CRV and 4-Cylinder Odyssey Models



If equipped with an automatic transaxle, place the shifter in Park or Neutral. If equipped with a manual transaxle place the shifter in Neutral. Make sure to apply the parking brake and block the drive wheels.


  1. With the heater off and in the full cold position, start the engine and hold the engine speed at 3000 rpm, until the radiator fan comes on at least one time. To check the ignition timing, the engine must be at idle speed and at normal operating temperature. Make sure all electrical consumers (defroster, radio, air conditioning, lights, etc.,) are turned OFF.
  2. Locate the blue plastic Service Check (SCS) Connector, as follows:

    Odyssey models with 4-cylinder engines: centrally located on the passenger side, under the dash. The connector has two wires; one is brown with a black tracer, and the other wire is red.

See Figures 1 and 2

Fig. Fig. 1: The inductive lead of the timing light is placed around the No. 1 spark plug wire; and the light is aimed toward the marks on the crankshaft pulley.


jturcotte_1431.gif

Fig. Fig. 2: The red ignition timing mark on the crankshaft pulley is lined up with the pointer. The two small notches on either side of the red colored notch represent the plus (+) or minus (-) 2° increments. The white notch to the far right is Top Dead Center (TDC)

  1. Connect the SCS service connector tool number 07PAZ-0010100 or equivalent to the service connector. A paper clip can be substituted for the tool by forming a "U" shaped bend in the paper clip and carefully inserting it into the back side of the SCS service connector terminals. The purpose of the tool is simply to connect the two wires together temporarily.
  2. Connect a timing light to No. 1 ignition wire and point the light toward the pointer on the timing belt cover.
  3. Check the idle speed and adjust if necessary.
  4. The red mark on the crankshaft pulley should be aligned with the pointer on the timing belt cover.
The white mark on the crank pulley is Top Dead Center (TDC).
  1. Adjust the ignition timing by loosening the distributor mounting bolts and rotating the distributor housing to adjust the timing. Set as follows:
    2.2L/2.3L Odyssey 2.2L models: 13-17° at 650-750 rpm
  2. Tighten the distributor bolts to 17 ft. lbs. (24 Nm) and recheck the timing.
  3. Remove the SCS service connector or the substituted paper clip from the SCS service plug.

My omc 190,1977 inboard marine engine cranks over, it spits and Sputs but won't start

Depending on the hours, this 40 year old engine may need new spark plugs, plug wires, ignition points, cap, rotor distributor, or more serious problems like a stretched, or broken timing chain, or timing chair gears. Did this suddenly start happening?

What is a capacitor on a chainsaw

Older model small gas engines used to have capacitors also known as condensers that you replaced as part of a routine tune-up along with the spark plug.

A tune-up kit usually contained a sparkplug, a set of points and a condenser(capacitor) and perhaps an air and/or gas filter. It has been a long, long time since I've seen one and I don't even know if they still make them.

Modern mowers have pointless ignitions so there are no points to replace. The last tune-up kit I bought several years ago for a small Honda push mower did not include a condenser so I assume replacement of the capacitor is no longer necessary.

I do understand that a capacitor is part of modern ignition systems on small engines but they are not routinely replaced.

Frankly, I don't know that condensers(capacitors) ever had problems. you just replaced them automatically with each tune-up because they came in the kit and they were cheap.

As I recall, they were located next to the points under a cap in the top of the flywheel on the lawn mowers I tuned up. I assume the capacitor, considering its function in the ignition system, is still in that location. The capacitor stores an electrical charge that causes the spark plug to fire, igniting the gas vapor in the engine when the pull cord is pulled or the starter button is pressed.

Omc 3.0 motor fires but will not start

Yes, the ignition switch or ignition wires on the Run side of the switch may be bad. Most people don't know that the Start side of the switch can power the spark plugs. But when you stop cranking and let the key go to Run you can lose the spark to the plugs

There is also a safety feature in the OMC system. The micro switches on the linkage have to be adjusted or timed. This is so the throttle is not set too high to engage the outdrive. So it does a lockout of the module or a lockout of the starter.

A second feature prevents starting if the outdrive is up too high. This prevents breaking Ujoints and dangerous planing conditions from an improperly trimmed outdrive. Lower the outdrive.

You will see the microswitches, see if the linkage can be moved to line up the contacts. They are simply contact switches and you may have to temporarily disconnect some linkage to test start.
