WEll been posting and bumping threads and no one ever replies to any of my posts. Hopefully this time i can get somewhat of a answer. Last night i was trying to get my car running right. CYL 2 was not firing. Pulled the wires while the car was running for any other cyl and it changed RPM, and you could see it ark. Pull the plug for cyl 2 and it did nothing, you could hear it sparking but not near as much.

So this morning i replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor and still the same code (manufacturer controlled ignition or misfire) and still cyl 2 is dead. with no spark.

 

We have no idea what car or engine that you have.

Pull the wire for #2, insert a plug, start the car, and see if it is sparking.

If it is sparking, try a compression test.

 

97 JDM ls motor in a 97 civic CX
no, i have no spark to cyl 2. And everyone keeps telling me to plug in my CKF well i have been out there for hours looking, pulled the timing belt cover and there sure as hell is no plug for a ckf, no spare plug period.

 

What ECU? Any CELs?

 

p75 USDM ls ecu (obd2)
3 codes
secondary 02 sensor (no cat)
manufacturer controlled ignition or misfire ( i checked before witht he paper clip method and this code was the CKF)
and TPS low voltage

 

Was the harness ever cut? Perhaps the motor cam with a bad TPS and distributor.

 

its the harness out of my cx, only wires i cut were to extend the o2 sensors. The TPS is a new sensor, and the dizzy was not on the motor when i got the car. I got the dizzy from a local salvage yard. My motor and trans are all from a import shop. Warranty ran out trying to get it running right. The car has never left my garage yet.

The distributor could be bad.

 

I already have the chilton civic and integra manuals.

Would a OBD1 Ecu and jumper cure this since the obd 1 motors wont look for the secondary o2 sensor and ckf?
