i have a 1989.Honda civic hatch 5 speed .Ed.6

Correct me if im wrong but for CODE 8. is a new distributor rite???or new DTC,but from my knowledge DTC are not sold separately .. rite?


Any (Diagrams) of where the speed sensor is located at?FOR A CODE:17?
Notice: one thing My Speedo cable is not pluged into my cluster, do to the fact that it snapped when dropping in a new tranny.question is will this have anything to do with a (CODE:17)

Any useful help is Welcome thank you.

 

Your speedo cable needs to be plugged in or it will toss code 17.

Code 8 probably means a new dizzy, unless you just changed some wiring?

 

cool I Understand why Code 17 come up Now.

,but i guess Code 8 is still unresolved, since the only changes that i did was All New :tranny,clutch,(front)brakepads,clutch cable. Can you define "dizzy," based on my situation ?

Thanx.

 

Dizzy is slang for distributor. I would resolve code 17 and reset the ECU, see if code 8 comes back. Make sure all your grounds are hooked up and tight also!!!

 

dizzy=distributor.

 

cool thanx Cool ride man

 

ok cool , so i checked it out today, and one of the spark plug cables that goes to the Dizzy (<--lol) i think # 4 had the input pushed back, meaning that it did not go into the out put ,which caused my #4 spark plug ,with no SPARK really pizzed me off tomorrow i will go NGK on SPARK PLUG CABLES AND SPARK PLUGS ?will take any other suggestions For the sparks and plugs ???. Other than that i guess what im trying to do, is to not sped to much cash (i am a student ), by buying the DIZZY .i think that maybe it was just the messed up spark plug cable that SET OFF A FALSE Alarm to the ecu . maybe Correct me if im wrong .thanx for the help .

 

i would go first chose with oem spark plug wires and ngk second. and i would reset the ecu and see if it still throws the code

 

Ok. i will trust you bro and go with oem thanx.
can you give me a quick review on how to restart it ?or should i look under FAQ?

 

to reset it just pull the ecu fuse from the engine bay fuse box for like 10 seconds then re install it and start it

 

ok cool thanx bro will do it asap tomorrow just really want that check engine light!gone!!!!!ha! suxs!

 

haha i know man, i keep throwing a code 9 and ive been working on trying to get it to go away

 

lol reason why i love civics they always keep you busy and happy, yeah they are something special hahah! good luck with Code 9 bro

 

ha thanks. let us know if your code still appears

 

fosho ill let you guys know asap. later

 

Ok. Code 8 is gone fixed my spark plug wires, code 8 is no more! Code 17 still shows up do to the fact that i ran out of time to connect the speedo in to the cluster, but will be taken care of. ....Lesson learned from this, Code:8 can be set off by a messed up wire so first check your wires are good on both sides and restart Ecu ,and if code 8 lights up again, then that means is a for sure new dizzy. thanx all to everyone that helped
