So i had a 92 civic that the CEL light came on and i never could fix it. so i just bought this 95. Ran great for the first 3 or 4 days then on the highway it shut off and when i restarted it the engine light was on and it falls on its face if you give it more than 1/4 throttle.

threw codes 4 8 9 and 41
same codes as my last civic. really need this one fixed ASAP. please help!

What are you doing that both cars wound up throwing the exact same codes?

 

is that the sequence it which the codes are coming out or? one thing may cause another try getting rid of the first code that shows?

 

4, 8, 9 are all distributor sensor codes. Inspect the distributor and its connector.

 

All i did was drive the car normal.

I know they are distributor codes and 41 is O2 sensor, just confussed to why both my civics did the same thing. The 92 i put a new distributor on it and that never fixed it. I tried 3 different ones. I am going to Ohm test this one today and see if it fails.

Does any one have an extra one they want to sell??!!??
