vtec distributor in non vtec b18b1....PLEAE READ
Ok so my car shit on me the other day...94 integra. B18b1 motor. Put on new starter, battery, and then found it had no spark. So i put on a new distributor and still nothing. Come to find out it blew a fuse. When i put the new fuse in it started right up. About 4 hours later i drove again, and when i got back in my car maybe 20 mins after that it did not start. Blew a fuse AGAIN!! The old distributor WAS vtec and the new one is non vtec. Could it be i have a vtec ecu? And therefore need a vtec distributor? Im not sure....

Read the sticker on the side of the ECU. It should have a 3 digit code somewhere on it that will say something like P74 or P72. But, the wrong type of distributor won't cause it to blow a fuse, because the distributors are all pretty much identical internally. So I think you have a problem somewhere else (not the ECU).

seriously though...something on that circuit is shorted out get out the short light and start pulling connectors on that circuit.. First though a really good visual inspection of all suspected wiring

Why would you be a running a vtec ecu/dizzy in the first place ? check if you have the correct fuse, Something keeps blowing your fuse, thats for sure.

It aint a honda if it aint got vtec yo
Exactly, the only difference in the distributors are the legs, they are closer together on a vtec engine because the vtec solenoid gets in the way. Although they are interchangeable, you need to modify it to make it bolt up properly.
It's a non-vtec engine, therefore there is no solenoid.
