CAN ANYONE HELP ITS # 9 CODE CYP I SUPPOSE CAN ANYONE HELP ME REPLACE WHATEVER IT IS OR FIX IT?

OK listen, you need to check the CYP sensor itself. to do this, you need a meter.

Pull the dizzy connector, and on the side coming from the dizzy, not the wiring harness, check continuity between connector 2, and 4. if its between 260-460 ohms, then its fine. if its lower or you show no reading, you need to replace the distrib housing.

If it shows between those numbers, check the continuity from the connector to a ground source. If it has continuity in this case, its shorting and needs to be replaced, if it shows no reading, time to move to the ecu or the wires from the dizzy to the ecu


EDIT:: If need be, i can take pictures of all this i speak of, just get a meter first, good investment anyway

k are u talking about the distributer cap and rotor?

ludedudeh23

also as soon as i hit 35 mph the car starts to cut out till i change gears then when i get to a sertain spped in 3rd it starts to cut out as well so the shorting or the dissy kinda sounds like my prollem i suppose im juss gonna go ahead and replace the cap and rotor bug

98TypeSH

no, i had said dizzy HOUSING, not cap and rotor. the CYP sensor itself doesnt just sit in the cap. Im talking about the 4 Prong plug, if you unplug the distrib. you have to pull the top half off its little mounting bracket so you can put the meter on the male plugs.

The CYP sensor can cause the problems you are describing if its dead. Since it tells where cylinder 1 is and thus starts combustion when you turn the car on.

wellllllllll lol i know for sure thats what it is xcuz i forgot one of the wires is broken on it ty lol ima go fix it real quick ty again

ludedudeh23

ok well thats done the wire is fixed but it still reads the number 9 code the cuting out stoped as well as a lil more power not much but also it still lacks alot of power i found out a lil house from my by bass air valve that goes to my vacuum tank is busted like where it hooks up to the tank soooooooo ima figure sumthin out about that could that be why im losing so much power also?

98TypeSH

replace anything thats busted. Did you reset the ECU after you fixed the wire? Pull the negative on the battery for a few mins, then reconnect, and start the car.

ludedudeh23

k i did that and its still on but i dont see nothin wrong with it but i dunno the oil light comes on after about 10 min of drving also but the oil wuz good then i put more in it thinking it wuz low an now its over filled.

98TypeSH

lol way to go there cheif check the dipstick, dont just add oil, **** man.

ludedudeh23

lol ty yeah i wuz in a rush and didnt even think about it

slotec

i had this problem today and i changed out 2 different dizzy;s and 3 ignitors and 2 coils and I laughed when i finally figured out it was my wiring. 2 of the pins had come out of the plug.

don't keep extra oil in your crank case! IF you know how to ADD oil you better know how to remove oil too. Pull that plug out of the bottom and drain some of it before you get oil leaks everywhere!!!

Not to mention wear out the rear main seal, and ruin your cat.

I've also been experiencing this problem on my 93 DX. I'm going to troubleshoot it tomorrow, but I have a question. I have a distributor from a 93 Si. Can I use the same internals from that distributor?

Dokta

Does anyone know if the internals, specifically the CYP sensor, are the same on a 93 Si distributor and a 93 DX distributor? I don't want to buy another distributor if I already have the part I need.
