I have a 93 Del Sol SI with 330,XXX miles. Recently the CEL came on and the car started to run rough. The light flashed 4 times. So I took that to be a code 4, which is TDC sensor or Crank Position sensor. I looked in the shop manual and had the parts department at a local dealer look it up but nothing could be found. The car also quit running. It will fire up for about 2 seconds then die. After that it will crank no start. Then I have to let it sit and try again in a couple of hours.

Where is the TDC/CKP Sensor located? Also could I have a bad distributor? I have heard that the early-mid 90s D series engines had distributor problems.

 

Code 4 is the CKP sensor, its in the distributor. You can't buy just the sensors, you have to buy a distributor, or if you have another bad distributor you can swap one of the sensors out of it. (CYP/CKP/TDC sensors can all be used interchangeably)

 

Thanks that is kind of what I was thinking

 

hey guys, i have a '00 civic and i'm having ckp problems too. i'm throwing out a p0335 code, so i changed the ckp sensor that is behind the crankshaft pulley/ within the timing belt housing. was that the right one, or should i be changing my distributor like mentioned above?

 

CKP = the one by the crank pulley. it is different than the ones in the distributor.

 

thanks for the info! any idea whether p0335 is refering to the one in the distributor or the one that i replaced near the crankshaft?

if it is in the distrib. then i need to replace the whole thing right?

sorry im really new
