IDK, but If your car has DFIS either 2GCDFIS, DLIDFIS, you don't even need the cap and rotor. I've won multiple bets that I can run my car without that stuff. I win every time. Piston owners are dumb.
You know your a 1st Gen owner when you have a list of reasons why your car isn't a piece of ****.
I like my backfires kinda muffled. Mine sounds kinda like a T shirt cannon "Phump" with flames.

This is one way to get DFIS

when you'd rather rebuild your solenoid so you have a backup than use the new one that's sitting under the hatch.....might not be everyone but i'm tired of swapping starters when its just the solenoid most of the time.
when you have enough spare parts to build another one
when you've only had an fb for 8 months and it's fought you every mile and the thought of possibly selling or trading it make you cry
when your coworkers make fun of the way it sounds and think you've done a motor swap... and put a husqvarna engine in it
when your buddy thinks his car can beat your fb and you just smile knowin how it would end
when you could get 36mpgs in your other car but you would rather get 20mpgs in your fb
when you take your 3month old daughter for a ride in your fb and she smiles and laughs the whole time just like you
when people say "your car is quick what do you have done to it" and you list off problems "oh well it's got a vacume leak, oil leak, exaust leak, and it's 30 years old"
when you have a piston keychain dangling from your towhook next to a honda emblem(also dangling from your towhook hehehe)

When you've locked your keys in the car many times because you close the door holding the handle
When an inch of play is considered "minimal"
When "beehive" is mentioned, you think of oil coolers

...when you can freehand draw from memory significant portions of your car's wiring diagram.
...when you find yourself hand re-packing your front wheel bearings, and realize that axle grease is just plain fun to squish between your fingers.
...when your Factory Service Manual is thinner than most new car owners' manuals... but your receipt book is thicker than the local phone book.
...when you find yourself halfway-seriously contemplating if it's crazy to want to be buried in it when you go.

When, after a 5 min explanation, complete with rotary key chain demonstration, the old gentleman who was asking about your car asks for the third time "so how many cylinders does it have?"
I love it!
I love it!
