Alright just to start off my mechanic told me to get a new ecu because the code 9 keeps coming up (third distributor that's been put in the car.) and now im getting a code 6 and 10. could i be getting these from a faulty ecu? or do these problems have no relation the each other? thanks!

95 honda accord LX 2.2

 

I have a code 9 in the exact same year accord, yet the car runs fine thus I live with the check engine light staying on.

IF your car runs smooth I would suck it up and live with it. If the car does not run then you will have to figure out the problem. As to your question you will need to to do electrical testing, and I would start with the procedures in the helms manual (IF YOU HAVE ONE) and continue from there.

Checked the helms and it COULD be an issue with the ECM. It sounds like you're not doing any testing, your mechanic is. Actually most mechanics don't do electrical testing they just swap parts. I were you I'd start learning because this could cost you money.

Code 9= CYP sensor (cylinder positioning sensor)
code 6= ECT (engine coolant temp. sensor)
code 10= IAT sensor (Intake air temp. sensor)

 

Yeah my car runs fine with the code 9. It just scares me so I just try not to drive it like a maniac lol. Thanks for the input man!

 

Yeah he check the volts on the distributor and that's why he said it was the ecu or ecm. I don't see the ECT being much due to the fact it's right under the distributor but the IAT could be a different story because if I'm not mistaken it's like inside the intake manifold.

 

i'd leave it be, choice is yours. If it was OBD II I would worry because you can't pass inspection with a check engine light. That's how it is in the state I live in, could be the same for you

Let me guess you got a distributor from one of the auto parts suppliers, pepboys, autozone, napa etc.?

 

I think so lol imma let it be. If it isn't hurting the car then it's cool in my book. I'm in Florida so there's no inspection over here.

 

So the code 6 and 10 went away and now I'm doing my "no more codes dance"........ For now...

 

Check your wire harness, there may be a damaged wire or a loose ground.
