First of I did some searching before I post, so don't flame me on that. Anyways, just bought a 98 lude base, manual with 95k miles on it. I'm going to give it a 90k service which includes:

timing belt
water pump,
balance shaft belt
valve cover gasket
spark plug seals
ngk iridium spark plugs
ngk spark plug wires

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?

I also wants to know where is the link for the auto to manual tensioner? I tried this and it didnt' work. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=549516

If anyone has done this conversion and is in the Southern CA area let me know and give tips or do it for me for a price.

My last concern is my check engine light. I hooked up the service connector and turned on the engine. It blinked 9 times steadily. (code 9 i presumed).
Code 9 :
* CYP Sensor
* CYP Sensor Circuit
* ECM
I think I'm suppose the change the distributor to get rid of this code.

any suggestions or comments will be appreciated. Any shops in the southern CA area (orange county) let me know. Point me to the right direction. Hope to have some fun with my lude and learn more in this forum.

 

distributor cap and rotor should be changed just to be sure. While your at it change the fuel filter and pcv valve as well. While your changing the belt, change the camshaft seals too since its right there.

 

might as well do the crankshaft seal and valve cover gasket while you're at it... you might want to start setting a little bit aside for a valve adjustment in the near future.

 

You're in the OC? I'm in LB. Join SoCalprelude.com if you want to keep up with local ludies...

 

balance shaft seal too! real easy one to change while you're there.

9 steady flashes means code 90, steady flashes are for the 10s digit, and fast flashes are for the 1st digit. i made this mistake on my last CEL, thinking i had code 8 (TDC sensor) when it was actually code 80 (poor EGR flow).

 

Transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid.

 

sounds good. since i go to lb state, i'll join

 

yeah, maybe a code 90:

* Fuel Fill Cap
* Vacuum connection
* Fuel tank
* Fuel tank pressure sensor
* EVAP bypass solenoid valve
* EVAP two way valve
* EVAP control canister ventshut valve
* EVAP control canister
* EVAP purge control solenoid valve

I might have to look this up...thanx...
