im throwing code 4 on a b16..it means crankshaft position (ckp sensor)

does any one know how I can fix this...some one told me I had to buy a whole new dizzy?

inputs welcome

 

any one?

 

i'm not 100% sure but yea ive heard when u throw that code u need a new dizzy..

 

just want to make sure this is what I have to change before I do it?

 

Could be any of the following 3, but so you know the CKP or Crank positison sensor is located in the Dizzy

Check them in this order:

1. Bad/Broken Wire or corrention between the Dizzy and ECU:

Check both connections to make sure there is no broken wires or loose connections at the ECU and Dizzy...trace the wires and make sure there are no breaks/cracks or sheilding rubbed off you can also test it by running new temp wires from the dizzy to ECU and see if that makes the light go away (remember to reset the CEL first)

2. Bad Dizzy

I'd try to find someone locally that has a OBD0 B16 that is know to be running properly and have them let you borrow there dizzy and see if that makes the CEL go away, that will keep you from spending cash on a new one incase it isn't the problem...

3. Bad ECU

Ask that same friend with the OBD0 B16 to borrow there ECU to see if the CEL goes away...you could also use a PM6 or PR4 if you have one laying around but you need to know it is in good working order, if you use anything other than a PW0 or PR3 you will probably get some other CELs and the car might not run properly (don't drive it with the wrong ECU just start it and let it idle) but you just need to check that you aren't getting the CKP code


Good Luck

k thanks

 

yeh my car was throwing same code change the dizzy and runs perfect might wana check the timing coulda thrown it off a bit too

 

still throwing code 4 with a new dizzy...any suggestions?

 

bought a new dizzy and still throwing code 4... any more input and I am going to follow the wires and make sure there not cut...also does any one else have any suggestions?

 

check wires
connections (maybe loose or corroded)

 

The conector on the engine harness to dizzy may have the pins sliding out.
Since it's not the dizzy you must trace the wires and connectors at both ends male and female. Push on the pins to see if they move any in or out.

Did you use prefabed adaptors (jumper harness) or repin the ECU connector?

 

also I ment to say that it wont rev past 3...bought my engine harness from rywire

 

I posted above everything you need to do...do that and then come back and ask for help if it dosen't work...its either your Wiring or your ECU...if you did all those checks you would have saved yourself from having to buy a new dizzy...

 

did u try to reset the ecu?

 

Everytime you fix somethin' You have to reset the ECU.
