ok guys so i have a code its throwing 9 and ecu only flashes when the engine is runing, this is a tdc sensor in distributor, i went and got an oem replacement and still nothing. its runs fine except for the ocasional stutter and bad idle, only happens about once a day and is very random, ive checked all wiring have new plugs wires and still cant figure out the problem!!

 

cmon guys this is really stumping me and the check engine light freaks people!!

was the car originally DPFI? or mpfi(si)??

has the car been running or has this problem happened immediately after swap?

 

have you tried switching out the ECU with a known good one to test if its your ECU?

 

car was a dx orignally, got the car swapped but i can tell the dist. wires have been cut, and no ihavent tried the ecu, no where to get one and no money to afford one.

 

make sure the dizzy wires are hooked up properly, dx had 5 and si had 7
the extra 2 are directly related to cam/crank positioning, due to the fact that its 4 injectors instead of the factory 2(dx)

 

im sure i know someone that has a spare ecu that can run with a b18a, ill ask around plus, either way its nice to have some spare parts!

 

alright man thanks if you could help out thatd be awesome. and is code 9 one of the wires you have to wire in or cut and swap? ive the the dpfi to mpfi write up and looked at my ecu wires looks like not of them have been cut, unless the depinned them

 

another thing idk if it has anything to do with this is car burns quite a bit of oil (1-2qts a month) and my coolant is disapearing. ive notice my overflow is always full too. even if i empty it.

 

Just double check your Dizzy --> ECU wiring

took me 2 trys to get mine right

DX to Si was nothing less than a headache

 

if i mixed up those 2 white wires would it still run? i think that may be my case

 

I personally had the two white wires swapped. Didnt run right. Swapped em runs like a champ.

 

thanks ill try that^^

 

anyone kow how to depin the distrinutor plugs? i have wires soldered and heat shrinked would be alot easier if i could just sepin the dist. plug

white wires were right, blew fuse and wouldnt start when i switched them. car drives fine 75 percent of the time, other time its stutter and spirts and cuts out hella and will unless i go wot. then its fine. seems like new plugs helped a bit too. im stumped
