I have an 88 Civic hatch, with an OBD1 Swap. Rywire did the OBD0 to OBD1 conversion. It was running good until it threw a CEL. I checked the codes and it was 4 (CKP). and at the same time i decided to replace the head gasket. ( when i was takin my head off the cam cap bolts were tightened to tight by sum stupid Fu** that owned it before me.) so i had to swap out the head with an LS OBD2. But i used the OBD1 LS DIzzy. WHen i started it it sputtered and ran like complete shat. Timing was off a lil but was then fixed.
I tried another dizzy from a buddies LS and still ran like shat and threw the same code CKP. I looked at the wiring and everything seemed to be ok. Does anyone have a wiring diaragram from OBD0-OBD1 or any info on the color of the wires going from the motor (DIZZY) to the ecu that could be messed up.

check that one of the pins didnt slip out on the conversion harness for the distributor. I chased a problem like that around for a while, and that was the cause.

did you clear the code before trying the new distributor? if both distributors had the same problem, then something is up with the wiring. if you follow the steps in the manual for troubleshooting a code 4, it should give you the answer.

 

when u say clear the ecu, do u mean unplugging the ecu fuse, or unplugging the ecu directly? or is there another way.

 

just disconnect the battery for a few. it effectively resets the ecu

either one of those options will work. Whichever seems easier to you.

 

When i check the pins for the dizzy what should i be lookin for? Cuz on 2 of my wires the rubber peice is comming out of the pin, but its not loose so its still connected inside. And when i'm checking the ohms. what and were should i be looking for.
