before removing, it ran fine, now it shows crankshaft position sensor. i found that its missing the clip under the engine mount, the sensor is there though, but i cant find anything thats not clipped in, and therefore it gets to 3500rpm and bogs hella. where does the clip originate? all pics ive seen on the engine harness show no clip that connects to it, and everything other thing is hooked up right... so where does it initially come from? im having trouble tracing it, or finding its point of origin, since maybe i made a mistake and missed it altogether somehow...

 

Did you measure resistance of the CKP sensor? It should be 350-700 Ohms.

 

ok, i know the location of the sensor. i know that the car runs funky. i know that there is NOT a clip running to the sensor whatsoever. im looking for where the wire that runs to the sensor originates so that i may be able to trace the missing sensor, and actually not have issues. the sensor is NOT the issue. the clip is.

 

Slow down and provide some detailed information.

What year Del Sol? Any mods?

CEL code 4, right? The CKP sensor is inside the distributor.

If something is missing, post pictures.

 

On the intake there are 2 plugs that are the same like by the throttle ,they get swapped all the time and make it run funny. Try that ,good luck

 

well, it is a 93 del sol, that originally had the 1.5. someone else swapped the d16 in. ran fine. took it out, put back in, and now im getting the 4. its inside the dist? i found a sensor under the drivers engine mount that isnt connected to anything. if its inside the distributor, then what the heck do i have going on?

 

 

dont have the equipment to do the check. it tore into the distributor, and see nothing that would resemble a ckp

 

Do you know what a CKP sensor looks like?

Get a multimeter. It's not very expensive. You are unlikely to be able to spot a bad CKP sensor by eye.

If the sensor resistance is fine, then use the multimeter to check for an open or short in the wires.

 

is it the magnet deal? if so i just put a new one in it. and generally your right, cant see it, unless cracked.

 

the vtec solenoid isnt hooked up either, could that have some effect?

 

did you use the same distributor?

 

same one, all new plugs wires cap rotor. i have no clue why this would do this. tried to switch the clips for the map and the iac like suggested, only made worse... im so lost here.

 

I'm having the same problem in my 91 Crx si d16 swap

 

You're going to have to be a lot more specific and you're also in the wrong forum. Like what ecu, distributor? Did you use a distributor and ecu adapter?

 

Ok, my set up is. 1991 Crx si , obd0- obd1 jumpers on ECU && dizzy. P28 manual ecu,HF engine harness , and d15 tranny. My problem is: when I go to turn on my car its takes a few cranks to get it started , once it starts it idles rough about 600-1100 rpm , then when I give it gas it sometimes bogs out and can't even rev past 3000rpm. I clean out my IACV and swapped maps around and nothing . I also tried taking off my ecu jumper harness to run the stock PM6(withCEL indicator) to read the codes and I'm getting a code 4 and 16 .which are CKP and faulty injector. Any help? Please...

 

Test the CKP sensor

 

*****s tryin to spot bad sensors by eye XD

But really, you need to get a multimeter and check continunity to the ECU and check resistance on the sensor itself. if you have no clip at all going to the sensor... then you need to get a new one that has a clip.
