ok i just built my motor je10-1 b18c1 gsr. basicly today was D-day and well it failed. misrably.......i got a code 9 and it sounds like the car is somewhat missfireing. i found one unplugged clip it was the exact same as the intake air temp clip. im confuzed. im gunna try checking the rotor and cap tomarrow as for tontie well im to pissed off to work on that thing anymore. thanks

 

code 9 is the crank angle position sensor i believe, ckp or some **** i cant remember. anyways, i had that happen on a car i worked on, replaced the distributor and the code went away.

 

9 No. 1 Cylinder Position – Bad circuit or unplugged/defective sensor (not valid for throttle body injection engines or V6 Accords)

 

would someone happen to have a picture of where it should be pluged into?
b\c i do have one clip left unplugged noooooo clue on to where it goes

 

yea thats it, i confused the codes. it happened on my b18c5 block and b16a head, once we replaced the dist everything ran fine

 

there should be a clip by the crank

 

if you are refering to the crank angle sensor that is plugged in

 

yes, the crank angle sensor is down by the crank pulley. It's the only plug located down there that's on the block.

 

im gunna take a pic of the harness clip that i cant seem to find a place for it tomarrow when i go back out there to work on it. i needed a break from it.

 

The sensors inside the distributor are: [at least for the 96-99 Civ's and 98-00 Teg's]

CYL = cylinder posistion
TDC = obvious
CKP = crank posistion

When OBD-II was introduced, they added a CKF sensor...the crankshaft fluctuation sensor. It was used to help determine when a mis-fire was happening.

Code 9 is for the CYL sensor which is located in the distributor.
