I am having problems getting my crx to run right. The dizzy that's on there has broken teeth for the cam position sensor. My question is can I use an obd0 dizzy from another non vtec b18 like 90-93 ls or does it have to be from the b18b?

 

The plugs will be different, as I'm guessing you've converted your OBD0 harness to work with an OBD1 or 2 dizzy for the b18b?

 

the sensor is different in obd1/2 when compared to obd0 so if you did swap out parts they would need to be from either an obd1 or 2 distributor.

 

I was told the motor was obd0. Is that not correct

 

OBD is on board diagnostics

1991 and prior is OBD0

92-95 is obdI

96-98 is OBDIIA

99+ is OBDIIB

The B18B comes in OBDI OBDIIA and OBDIIB setups, all with different plugs, but the same internally

As to wht motor you have, find out the year, it's pretty simple, plus what year is your car

 

The motor swap was done by the previous owner so I'm not sure what year the motor is but I have a 1989 crx.

 

Ok so the motor is out of a 93 so its obd1 with the jumper harness to an obd0 pr4 ecu. I'm guessing that means I can't use an obd0 dizzy right?

 

The PR4 ecu comes in both OBD0 and OBDI. If it is converted to OBDI, you will have the matching ecu and distributor. The distributor is easy to identify if it is the newer OBDI style, as it will have 2 gray plugs coming out of it.

It it has the round milky white connector, the car is still running OBD0. You wouldn't need a jumper harness for this

 

There's a jbumper harness for the ecu but not the dizzy so

 

So will the b18a1 dizzy work fine with it

 

Bump to get an answer

 

how bout you post a pick of the distro and its plugs
il tell you in 2.2 sec if its obd0 or obd1

 

I can't get a pick but the plug is round with 7 wires if that helps

 

Wow, i have a;ready given you the answer already, why is it so difficult??

 

Sorry I skipped that last part about the round milky white plug. Thank you deetz for the info I will make sure to read the posts a little better next time.
