well my crx is throwing a code 9 which if i am correct is number.1 cylinder position.


well i have replaced the dist cap, rotor, switched to msd external coil, and replaced the little box inside the dist with the four wires. still throwing code 9. WTF IS GOING ON. please help me

 

come on i know somebody knows what could fix this???????????

 

Code 9 - No. 1 Cylinder Position Sensor

It's the third sensor in the dist., and it detects the position of the No. 1 Cylinder, as the base for the Sequential Injection. It can also be located on the camshaft of DOHC engines.

CYP sensor is mounted on the exhaust cam on the ZC.

If the dist. base bearing starts failing, it will heat the sensor(s) up, destroying the magnetism thus causing a code(s). It will lose 10% of it's strenght, each time it is heated up to 170 degrees plus.

In most cases, replacing the distributor is the only alternative. Especially if the bearing has failed.
Honda does don't stock the bearing by itself, but other after-market compaines are said to have one.

If you have problems starting the engine, or drivability after the install check your cam aligment. The seizing bearing might have caused it to jump a tooth/notch or two. From the extra drag due to the bearing failing.

 

so it isnt the little box thats the problem. if not then i just gotta replace the dist and it will fix the prob????

 

umm any second opinions

 

replace the distributor.

my car also had a code 9 at one point in its lifetime. replaced the dizzy and not only did the code go away, but the car ran much better overall.
