Hi all. I have done some search and found a lot of "replace the distributor" responses. Which is fine, I'll do that if I have to. But my idle is definitely wrong too. When I turn on the car it idles between 1600 and 2000 RPMs, then after driving it a few miles, it idles around 1200-1500 RPMs. My CEL is throwing codes 7, 9 and 36. 7 is the TPS, which I replaced w/a spare one that was lying in my garage, so that MIGHT be fixed. 9 is the CYP (Cylinder Position sensor), and most people on here are saying new distr. I followed my Haynes manual for B18B Integras (they don't make one for the Del Sol DOHC), and all the resistances were 325-340 Ohms when they're supposed to be 350-700 according to specs. That could just be because the contacts weren't solid, I don't know. I also check the two other sensors in the distr and got the same Ohm reading. So I'm at a loss. I was hoping to have this car ready for going to Myrtle Beach this coming Saturday morning. Not looking good now though Anybody have any ideas that I can do like ASAP? I'm in the Albany, NY area around knows how to fix it. The code 36 is because I'm running a JDM P30 (came w/the swap) and is for traction control, not worried about that one. Thanks H-T!!

 

if your throwing so many codes, resolve them first before you address the idle.

after the codes are resolved and the idle problem still exists, i would recommend you check for vacuum leaks or try cleaning the IACV.

 

Ok, the TPS CEL is gone. I bought a new distributor and reset the ECM, started it up. Still runs, but idle is still wicked high and still getting a code 9 CYP sensor CEL. Anyone have any ideas? Could the timing maybe off and that could cause the CEL? I'm at a loss now.

 

just got home from work bump

 

Ok, just to make sure I returned the new distributor, got another new distributor, and STILL getting the same CEL! What the hell?! Could it be something as simple as my timing is off one or more teeth? Please help!!
