Code 8 and my car wont start. HELP!!!
Well, I just finished installing the head back on my car. I had new guides put on, and valves lapped in and had the head resurfaced. I installed the whole valvetrain, and then installed the head and everything. I lined it all up for timeing and everything, tightened timing belt. I did it all. If there is something you think I am missing let me know. Anywayz, I went to finally start the car, after priming it, and I kept cranking it, and the a CEL kicked on. The CEL was a code 8, which is a TDC Code. What do I need to do to fix this code, so it will start, I already tried reseting the ECU and all of that. I have solved other problems in the past, but I just can't seem to figure this one out, in that, I didnt think B16a1's had a TDC/Crank Sensor. I know other people have ran into this problem out there, jsut let me know so I can finish my project. THANX
Timing is set exact, to the tooth. I think it is the TDC sensor in the ditributer, because the bearing is failing, which means the TDC sensor might not be able to read. and it squeks when you turn it and it is kinda hard to turn. I am gonna try another distributer, and see if that works.
Some of the problem was jsut some mixed up wiring at the dizzy plug, I sorted it all out and it starts now. Thanx tho.
