i got a code 9 on my friends 2000 civic lx. i believe its a cylinder sensor... where is that located so I can change it. thanks

 

anyone?

 

It is located in the distributor.

To change it, means changing out the entire distributor sub-assembly.

 

cool thanks.

There are 3 sensors inside the dizzy: TDC, CYL, and CKP.

Guess I need to learn more about dizzy's

 

DPFI, dual point, does only have two sensors inside the distributor - TDC and CKP.

MPFI, because its sequential, needs to know where the #1 CYL is - hence the additional sensor.

 

are the ecu codes the same for 92-2000? cause when i checked the code off the sticky it was for 92-96 civics. i dont own a honda so i wouldnt know. just trying to help out a friend. but the 92-96 civic ecu code book says code 9 is CYP- cylinder sensor...

 

92-00 codes are the same.
