Hey guys, I am relatively new here, and I am coming to find information. I have a 95 Civic stock 1.6l VTEC

I will be cruising along at 70MPH along the interstate with my RPMs at about 3K, and it will randomly jump up to 3.5-4K RPM. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with how the car performs or accelerates. It also happens when I am speeding up, but I probably don't notice it much.

I have a CEL throwing code 9 which is CYP censor - pretty much the distributor... took it to a mechanic and he said that if the car runs fine, which it does, don't worry about it.

Through searches and whatnot I have found two things that people are saying could cause it:

1) Distributor
2) Ignitor

If I could get any input it would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

i had that same problem once. take off ur distributor cap and look for the neg side of the coil, it may be loose re secure it and u should be good.

Okay... this is something that I do not know how to do. Is it simple?

JEGD16Z6

yea, to make it reall easy just take off the distributor than take off the cap. once the cap is off u got to take off the rotor. their is a screw holdling it on and u may have to turn the rotor by hand to get to it. once thats off u will see a black box with wires going to it. thats ur coild just check the connections to that box.
o yea make sure u mark ur spark plug wires

distributor bolts are 12mm
cap is phillips head
rotor is phillips head
