ok guys please read before u comment.

i have a 2000 honda civic si with gsr swap using a si engine harness with obd2 dizzy and obd1 stock gsr ecu. I ran this set up for 3 years and it was fine until now outta blue the car wont pass 4500..

its throwing a code "crank angle sensor" by the oil pump/timing was goin to replace it but their is no crank sensor??any clues??


timing is perfect
every gear same thing
new vtec solenoid/gasket
new sparkplugs,wires
new dizzy
speedo work so not the VSS
new map
new tps.


im out of clue and please help.

 

Crank Angle Sensor on the B-series is in the dizzy.

One site said to check all the pins and wiring to be sure none got bent or broken.

I know you said you swapped the dizzy but the code is for a sensor in the dizzy.....

 

But obd2 dizzy has no crank in them

 

Crank angle, cylinder position and the TDC sensor are all inside the distributor.

Crank fluctuation is what's down by the oil pump.

You have something wrong inside your distributor.

 

but my dizzy is brand new

 

like i said obd2 dizzy dont have any crank on them

 

 

Your obd1 ecu is looking for a sensor that is suppose to be in the dizzy, an obd1 dizzy....if EE_Chris post didnt' spell it out by now I don't know what will.

 

+1. Also make sure your vtec solenoid sensor is connected.

 

sorry forgt to mention i tried my ecu on my buddys em1 and it works fine.. vtec solenoid is new and gasket and also plug is connected..

 

You said you had the setup for 3 yrs, and then you said the dizzy is new. how long have you had that dizzy and when did this issue with you not being able to rev past 4500rpm begin.

 

yes had the set up for 3 years.. while goin up my driving i scrape and killed my car then when i start it up it wont pass up 4500 then bought a new dizzy and same happen

 

Did you smash the exhaust and cause a high back pressure?

 

I'm totally confused at what the situation is....you didn't even diagnose the issue and assume a new dizzy would solve it? Either you scraped the bottom of your car or you hit a pretty decent bump and knocked something. You're gonna have to trace those wires back to the ecu and diagnose the sensor as well to see whats going on.

Is this distributo "new" or from a known good "source".
