hey guys i just did a mini me swap and i have a question.my question is the bottom block i got is a d15b jdm block w/z6 head.i notice that there is an extra sensor of some kind located right on top of the oil sensor on that d15b .its got a single wire hanging out and was curious what the sensor is or what its use for.any idea what it might be?the d15b7 and the d16z6 i got doesnt have that sensor.any help would be appreciated thanx in advance..

 

Any pics?

 

heres the pic


i just left that wire hang there.....

 

any CEL, what ECU are you using?

whats that little oil line for??

 

Aftermarket Oil Pressure or oil temp guage maybe? Are you getting any CEL's because of it?

 

i'm using a p28 ecu and the oil line is for my turbo.any idea what the heck that thing is for?

 

or turbo oil-feed

i know cause i had one

 

cel meaning.....

 

the P28 wont look for it so i think you are ok.

if no CEL you are clear for take off.

CEL= Check Engine Light

 

well its running fine i was just curious bout it....i do get a cel but havent check the code yet......

 

Hmm my d15b didnt have that.

Mine doesn't have that either.

 

i've been reading other threads and they mention something bout the knock sensor....could it be that?

 

a knock sensor maybe if its a vtec head..

End of story.

Take it to autozone and have it checked. Or check it yourself with the paper clip trick.


EDOT: On second though I think parts stores mostly deal in obd2

 

still need to check it and its an obd1...thanx for the help and opinion

OMG, paperclip. Do you know where your ECU sits? It's under the dash, on the "kick panel" (right side wall, foot level) on the passenger's side.

Well, above it, just reach about half a handlength up, and you should be able to pull down a two wire plug that isn't plugged into anything. twist the paperclip until it makes a two pronged shape, and jam it into the plug's receptacles (don't worry, this won't hurt anything) while the car is OFF.

Then, turn the key to the number 2 position, and count the sets of long and short flashes. Long = 10, short=1, ie: _ _ -- = #22: VTEC Oil Pressure switch. Once you
have the numbers, consult the CEL thread at the top of this section for what each set of flashes means.

Now, no more questions about the mystery plug until you decipher the CEL. It might just tell you the sensor that is unplugged.

just looked at mine... i was under it anyways tightening my oil sender unit... i don't have that either

 

i know where its at blackout thanx....my ecu is chipped and datalogg ready so the cover is always off....like i've mention i was only curious about that sensor my ride runs well at 10 psi......that one sensor just bugg me when i open the hood thats all.....thanx

 

Sorry dude. I just had to assume to give directions so there'd be no need to get a return response, and then proceed from there.

Sorry, but I just don't know what that is for. I guess if it's not giving you any problems, then don't worry about it.
