Hi,
here's the problem. My buddies d16y7 blew up (not sure why but it's dead)
so he got a replacement motor from a local engine seller.

The seller sold him a different but similar engine, from what he CLAIMED was the same era car. He also claimed that it should bolt right up.
Motor labeled as a z15b, i've never heard of that and have a feeling it's actually something else, feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

The problem they are running into is this:
quoted from my friend...

"So, my old engine has a crankshaft sensor on the sproket. The new engine does not. I need the sensor to send rpm info to my computer. The crankshaft is a different diameter on each motor so we can't use the old sprocket with attached crank sensor...I'm sure some honda tech peeps know what to do..."

i had the same problem but i searched around and i found a site that had a way around the crank sensor basically you steal the info from the wiring to the distributor and it worked flawless and check engine lioght turned off also here is the link copy and paste the whole thing in your browser hope it helps:

Neat way to get around a wrong year/wrong OBD problem. Good info!! Should throw that into a sticky for future use.
