hello everyone im new to the honda world grew up with american muscle well i have finally discoverd the import cars are street monsters lol i bought a 96 ex d16y8 with a few bolt on ex cold air header exhaust! the o2 sensor was broke off in the header i got it out and replaced it and reset the ecm and after about 40 miles the check engine light is back on and its a p1336 code for csf sensor intermitten is there any way to solve this without taking the motor apart? best i can tell the wires and connectors are good! thanks in advance for any help!

 

Do understand what that code means/what causes it ?. CKP is the sensor inside the distributer.. CKF is the sensor on the crank shaft. Crankshaft sensor is replacable but i do believe if the one in the distributer is going bad you would have to replace the distributer.

here's a pic

so i should start with the one in the distributor first?

 

did you not read my post ? that's the one YOU CAN'T replace...unless you want to buy a new distributer,

 

yeah i got what you were saying and if it will get the problem fixed then ill replace the distributor i just want to do get the problem fixed so it will pass inspection and emissions! and didnt really want to tear the motor apart!

 

you won't have to...taking the lower timing belt over off is about all you may have to do which could be a pita but not hard at all.

 

so its easier to just replace the ckf? and go from there? cause the car runs amazing so im guessing this sensor doesnt really affect much?

 

it can and can't I've heard of stories where it causes the car to jerk and what not and other where nothing happened at all. have you tried re-setting the ECU ? there's always the chance it's just loose

 

i disconnected the batterie for five mins and the light went out but came back on after about 40 miles it came back on is there a better way to reset the ecu?

 

try over night or just 15 mins. you could always take the distributer cap of and see that the leads to it are snug.

 

ok ill try both and see what happens
