Default CODE 9 and 20

I got a check engine and it shows code 20 and 9. Is it the dizzy??

I think she ( talking about my car ) does't like the 7800 rev limit

Your dizzy is most likely the culprit. Remove the cap and look inside of it to see if there are any broken pieces of plastic, shredded copper or any other loose junk inside.

code 9 is cylinder position sensor (located in dizzy)
code 20 is defective cuircuit/ sensor

If you recieved the code after revving high, then you have most likely spun your distributor and will likely need to replace or rebuild it depending on the amount of damage or wear

reset your ecu and code 20 should go away, leaving you with code 9 to deal with.

hope this helped

exactly. ELD useally entails a defective circuit/ or sensor. I had c20 and c9 on my ecu and dizzy swap repaired the prob.
