Well, I started my OBD0 -> OBD1 conversion today, but the distributor is fucked up. The guy I bought it from said it was a TD-41, the one I needed.


I have a D16A6 in the car.

I bolted up the distributor, but only two legs of the distributor meet bolt holes on the head. The other leg is off in space.

I tried it anyway, and it just cranks with no start. I switched wires around and changed the firing order about 1,000 times to no avail.

I think this distributor is not the right one after all. Anyone else who has converted a D16a6 out there? How's your dizzy look?!

 

definately does not sound right...did you check for spark....just curious why are you converteing your a6 to obd 1? what ecu are you using?

Using a P06 ECU. I'm converting for better tuning opportunities down the road.

I'm just wondering if this whole two leg thing is normal for an OBD1 A6. If not, then the problem is the wrong dizzy.

 

u could run a Z6 dizzy. the housing and bolt up pattern may be slightly different.

 

I'm starting to think i have a vtec dizzy and I need a non vtec dizzy.

 

Anyone got an OBD1 A6? Is this normal?

 

why don't you just use your original dizzy.....I was under the impression...I might be wrong that the only real difference is the plug on it and the bolt pattern...couldn't hurt to throw in your original dizzy and see what happens...also check for spark and your timing

 

OBD0 dizzy will not work with an OBD1 ECU.

I think because it doesn't bolt up right the timing is way off. The rotor isn't exactly pointing at #1 when at TDC.

 

Well it is the wrong distributor. Anyone wanna buy a freshly cleaned TD-42U dizzy?

Its the output signal, OBD-0 sends out a signal at a lower rate than OBD-1.

 

The problem was that it was a TD-42U dizzy.

I need a TD-41U dizzy.
