Ok so I was driving my crx fine and suddenly the engine light went on and my car wouldn't pass 3500 rpm WTF!!!! I checked the engine and see what was wrong in there Everything looked fine until I got electrecuted by my distributor Apparently there was a crack in the cap and it was shooting of sparks So i changed the cap and the rotor, but it still does the same thing I trieed to reset the ecu, but nope didn't work I checked the ecu(btw i have an ob0 and a hondata s100) and it was blinking 4 times so i went to Hondata's website and checked and it says that its a code for a crankshaft position sensor Ok so how do i change a crankshaft position sensor or do i just need to replace my distributor?? Thanks in advance for all the help

BTW this is the cars stats:
ls vtec
type r head, valve tran, intake manifold, type r header
rc 310 injectors, str fuel rail, b&m adjustable fuel regulator, str cam gears, ls block, type r pistons
jdm gsr cable tranny w/ stock lsd
delete cat, 3" exhaust,
tuned w hondata

 

is the ecu in limp mode if so how much is it to fix??

 

Your distributer was shooting sparks

It does sound like your ECU is in limp mode. When you ask how much does it cost to fix, it really depends on who you take it to.

You might be able to search for other people who have had the problem, they may have been able to fix the problem without having to take it to a mechanic.

Try keywords like Limp Mode in both recent and archived sections of the EF forum

 

thanks but is there anything else i can do

 

 

no one

 

I would just replace the distributor and go from there if that doesn't fix it

I would ask a friend that has a OBD-0 dizzy to let you try it on your car, to see if thats the problem. By the way if it is the dizzy i have 2 forsale.

In the distributor there is a rotor and the rotor is held in by a screw.
Check if the rotor is screwed.

 

checking

 

lmk hopfuly that solves your problom

 

You know, sometimes its the most obvious things like the Spark Plug wires.

It couldn't hurt to check the plugs and the wires.

 

changed the plugs

 

didnt do crap

 

are you getting spark and fuel?
