Default 1382 'Cylinder Position sensor no signal'

My car's check engine light came on. I took it to AutoZone to get a code. The code is 1382 'Cylinder Position sensor no signal' is written of the diagnoses paper they printed.

Symptoms are the car will shut off when I come to a stop if not in neutral. It idles very low and has some power issues.

What I know from research. I looked at the Honda manual and the image confuse me. I have no idea what I am looking at. It seem like this is an issue with the distributor. The CKP sensor is what I have to replace.

Does this have anything to do with crankshaft position sensor? I think this is in a different location. It is the Ignition Control Module? If this is so then I have to remove the distributor cap and rotor to get ot it. Is this correct?

Thanks

Give it another go, sparky. In the mean time, I leave you with this gem.

PURPOSE
To determine ignition timing at start-up, position of #1 cylinder for sequential fuel injection, and normal timing for fuel injection and ignition of each cylinder and also detects engine RPM.

OPERATION
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses these signals to determine fuel injector and ignition timing and to calculate engine RPM.

The Top Dead Center (TDC) sensor signal is used to determine ignition timing at engine start-up. This signal is also used as a backup signal in the event the Cylinder Position (CYP) sensor signal becomes abnormal.

The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor determines timing for fuel injection and ignition timing of each cylinder and detects engine speed.

The Cylinder Position (CYP) sensor generates a signal based on the position of the number #1 cylinder for proper timing of the sequential fuel injection system for all cylinders.

CONSTRUCTION
All three sensors are pickup coil and reluctor construction. The sensors cannot be serviced separately.

The car is a 1997, Honda Civic LX. The acceleration miss fires sometimes.

You have diagnostic tests to run.

All I have done so far is read about it on the internet. The seems like it might be the distributor. I am searching for suggestions.

I do notice as the car warms up it cuts out when I come to a stop.

Did you not bother reading the massive and inclusive diagnostic tests I posted?

NotARaCist, I read it. I under how some of the system work and have not fully digested the problem solving process. Can we start off with what does the cylinder position sensor look like and where does it exist. Can you help me find an image of this please? An image would be help me more versus an illustration.

The sensor trip is part of the shaft, as is shown in the diagram. The sensor itself is the only thing that trip will come within millimeters of. Regardless, what it "looks like" doesn't matter. First off, you won't be poking it directly to diagnose it, and second off, if it's bad, you can't replace it - you have to replace the entire distributor.

For something like that, OEM or bust. Get a multimeter and do the tests first, though. There's a chance you just have a damaged wire, or something else that's easier and/or cheaper to replace. Throwing parts at the car on guesses and assumptions is never a good idea.

Invest in a multimeter. Best 25 bucks I have spent.
Had the same code, tested with a multimeter, replaced with used OEM distributor, have not had a problem since.

Last I checked, you can get a cheap one on sale right now at Sears for $10. Definitely something everyone who wrenches on a car (or works on their own computers, or does their own home repairs, or owns a toolbox) should have in their toolbox. You don't need anything fancy or expensive. Digital screens, kickstands, temperature probes, and all that extra **** are nice, but not necessary. A simple, basic one, everyone should have.

Pick one up, and give the tests a go. Best case, you find out that it's a simple frayed wire, and save yourself a few hundred dollars while learning how to use a voltmeter. Worst case, you have to replace the distributor, but you still learned how to use a voltmeter.
