Hey guys,

FIrst i'll give you a description of my setup.

-JDM B18C
-Blox IM
-P73Canadian Ecu
-DC header
-High flow cat

All this in a 97 ITR shell.

Now here's the problem. I"m getting the P1381+1399 Codes together in tandem. sometimes i notice that when accelerating in 2nd gear from low rpm's the car "sputters"

I've done some searching and most threads point to the distributor or ICM.

I just replaced my spark plugs last week, the previous owner said he replaced the spark cables + distributer last year.

What should i be looking for?

help?

you can have the icm checked i believe at autozone but the 1399 is a valve clearance issue i believe. is you valve clearance good?

mtlr

where is the ICM? where can I find a pic?

mtlr

is it possible that the 2 are related?

RICKSAUTOMOTIVE

i've had multiple codes for the distributor...such as mis fires..cam sensor...ignition coil....icm.... but its been the dizzy. never had the 1399 with it. so IDK if the 2 could be related. i gotta look up the 1381 code cuz IDK it off the top of my head

mtlr

can someone give me an idea to where i should start looking?

where is the icm? and how do i check it?

what year is your b18c from? 1999? do you have that distributor too? or a side mounted unit?

the stamping on the head indicates that it is a 95. the distributor is mounted to the left. here's a pic;







i also just noticed my timing belt wobbles a bit when the motor is running, is that normal?

i should also mention that the car starts up perfectly fine, and idles ok as well!

anyone know where I can find a write-up, on how to change the Dizzy? also, since my motor is a JDM B18C, can I just replace it with any v-tech distributor?
