For those with b18a1 crx's -- the cable is good leading from the vss to the gauge gluster. the car is also running limp mode. not sure what else there to it when i know have spark and fuel pressure. timing is good as well . the wires to the dist. correct . the coil isnt burnt out because its a whole new dist. (obd0) I've read left and right about the vss signal/amplifier is b16 on the ecu plug for pr4. So the question with all wiring and connections correct -- what else is there to look at ? Any answers from the tech gurus and anyone who would like to contribute are welcome.

 

what cels is coming up?? what year b18 do u have?

 

Code 17 showing and b18a1 set up as a 90 to 93 integra.

have u started the motor yet?

 

( YEs ) after numerous checks on the spark plugs , fuel pressure, ecu plugs, bat connections, fuses under dash , fuses under hood. limp mode sucks!! haha when i first purchase the car for a 1000 with the swap done to it already. I took his probs for cheap and well i fixed two other codes --- 3or5 and 6 well those are gone and then it was the 17 well replaced the broken cable . Finally, where we are at now with still the 17 and the limp.

 

is your crx the single zc or dual? i ripped up the track with a eg hb with a single zc. i was having times in the low 15s rip that beast but i still have the heart to bring a lil crx back to life if i can find one for a good price

 

DOHC zc

how does it run with the cel?hows it sound at idle?

 

the vss cel i could care less but the limp mode keeps under 4grand and wont go any higher

 

hum?i dont think the vss coed would make it run that way.u usre your cam gears are lined up right?cause that will do it everytime.

 

I've had vss issues and it doesn't do that. It'll keep you out of vtec but that's not the issue here.

i say its the timing not being right.more then likely the cam gears.

 

limp mode is something electrical --- im just thinking here so how is timing on the belt // cam gears going to make my car run in that mode?

 

ok one if u got rid of your vss code your car wounldt be in limp mode.if your cam gears off a tooth it run run like ***.which is what it is running like now from what u have described.

 

go on over to pgmfi.org and read up on what limp mode is and does to your motor and ecu.

 

I did go there and read up on limp mode -- its a serious problem. Though it sends in the ecu to safety , it still allows you only to get it somewhere and then park till fixed. (sucks) Therefore, I'm handing it over to the car gods.

 

cool hope you get her running.

 

Vss only stop the Ecu to engage VTech and limiter comes down to 7500, As from my experience,

There is some thing esle wrong with ur car, replace the ECU, to ensure that its not ecu problem

Did you reset the ecu yet?

 

Salman and Mr.speaker did that and the car still failed...back to salman though -- ihave no vtec on my b18 i sure it wouldnt take much to set it up but i then i have to get the controller , knock sensor, etc-- blah blah you know the deal... i want my car to run lol and i want to start the body work soon

 

Car is going to be worked on by RC Autoworks... car will and hopefully run again.
