I swapped a OBD0 b16 into a hf crx for a friend of mine. After we got it running the car has been throwing codes 6 and 9 and there is no vtec. We replaced the distributor with a new one from distributorking.com and we still have a code 9. The dizzy that we got was a white plug but all the wires on it were OBD1 colors. I repined all of the wires so that the dizzy wire colors for OBD1 were going to the ecu for the right function, but the car wouldn’t start. So I put the wires back to where they were so the car can run again.
So my questions are:
What other options are there for getting rid of the code 9 cyp
Does code 6 have anything to do with the cyp
Does either of these codes make vtec not work

 

Code 9 won't let you rev past 4000 due to a safe mode being kicked in. Check all your wiring from the distributor to the ECU, also, make sure your wires are properly shielded.

 

You can definitely rev past 4000. I have checked all the wiring and I cant find anything wrong. What do you mean by properly shielded? When searching I have seen that people would run wires direct to the ecu and it would get rid of the wiring ghost.

 

bump for some help

 

stupid question but i just dont know what is the dizzy is this short for distrubtor or however its spelled

 

yeah, it is short for distributor.

 

car will still run the same and hit vtec with code 9

 

for what its worth, i had the same thing happen to me, and it turned out that the plug on the distributor was so new that the pin for that circuit just popped out of the plug. i plugged the pin back in and it worked. good luck

 

damn this code 9! got the same thing on my z6 after i swapped into my crx. Ive tried everythign to fix it as well except try a diff distributor. No one aroudn my area that i know even drives a honda except me so i have to get a new one 214 bucks. It better get rid of it!

 

so is code 6 what is making the vtec not work? if it isn't working, why isn't there a code?

 

make sure you don`t have the wires backwards at the ecu . i think it`s b10 and b12 . i wired mine backwards and i could never get the timing belt to line up right and set the dizzy where it needed to be.

 

yeah it is b10 and b12, but I never had to touch it for the swap.
