Question Anyone know how to fix Weak spark??

hey guys, here's the problem, wonder if u guys can help me

here's is what the electrician had to say:
it's getting really weak spark... sometimes the car will start and run fine.. but once it warms up, the spark gets really weak. i think he said it was weak inside the crank unit, so he might have to put a separate ignitor in it or make it direct fire with no ignitor.

he says sometimes it starts, sometimes doesnt.. when it does, sometimes it's fine... but then sometimes the spark gets weak once the car gets hot. he says it's very hard to find the problem since sometimes the car works, sometimes doesnt... he has had problems with my distributor before, and he did some rewiring on it before.

the car is a 93 turbo'd honda prelude with standalone ecu, 440 cc injectors... stock plug wires, ngk6 spark plugs, stock ignition.

1) any idea of what's going on and what needs to be done?


update: i just spoke to a honda specialist, he said that my car is rekowned for weak spark... going external for the coil and module may be a very good idea, as is going direct fire...

2) i'm thinking of upgrading the coil pack, but i heard MSD blaster coils are like very expensive... what other coils are available that do the job just as well and for much cheaper?

3) external for the module... i assume he means the ignitor module? what will this involve and the cost? does this require like an MSD 6 series kind of device or is that more of an amplifier?

THANKS GUYS

hey guys i just checked the prices on these things and they're actually quite affordable

thanks dudes

1) just wondering though, is it ok just to upgrade the coil first (cos thats all i can afford right now), then later upgrade the amplifier?

2) will upgrading the coil by itself make a big diff? then the amp later on will make an even bigger diff or what?

3) the blaster 3 comes with a taller tower than the blaster 2, but doesnt come with a ballast resistor... i wanna get the blaster 3 since it's an improved design, can i buy the ballast resistor elsewhere and how do i know which resistance to get? (the resistor is required for using it with stock ignition).

thanks
