Default Throwing codes 9 and 14, how do I fix this?

One is electronic air control and the other cylinder #1 I think. What does that mean and how do I fix it.

My car has a surging and high idle. It has one vacuum hose not on cuz its all rotten, but I doubt that is the only cause of the problem.

The vacuum hose is the middle on on the intake manifold...

yo man i really know some trouble shoooting of code 14.... i just got same code.... it came after SFC-VTEC install. but i doubt its that because it did it also 2 days before i install it.... mines does 1200-1400 bouncin up and down
i unplugged the EACV and the engine stalled...... wich its weird because i used not to have it plugged, and my car ran fine except of not being high rpms when cold.......
code 9 i have done everything to fix it and no dice..... im about to put a LS dizzy to see if it fits.... but i dont want too because i have my dizzy ghetto rigged and timing its a bitch sometimes....

as for you..... the previous guy said replace dizzy
u dont have too.... ur CYL sensor its on the other cam.... its the sensor sitting next to the dizzy on the other cam...

Hmmmmm maybe the 2 wires on it are hooked up wrong. But would the car still run with that messed up?

Code 9 - No. 1 Cylinder Position Sensor

It's the third sensor in the dist., and it detects the position of the No. 1 Cylinder, as the base for the Sequential Injection. It can also be located on the camshaft of DOHC engines.

CYP sensor is mounted on the exhaust cam on the ZC.

If the dist. base bearing starts failing, it will heat the sensor(s) up, destroying the magnetism thus causing a code(s). It will lose 10% of it's strenght, each time it is heated up to 170 degrees plus.

In most cases, replacing the distributor is the only alternative. Especially if the bearing has failed.
Honda does don't stock the bearing by itself, but other after-market compaines are said to have one.

If you have problems starting the engine, or drivability after the install check your cam aligment. The seizing bearing might have caused it to jump a tooth/notch or two. From the extra drag due to the bearing failing.

Code 14 - Electronic Air Control Valve
Lets extra air into the intake manifold, to help control the idle under different loads.

Check the O-rings, for mountng condition.
Clean the inside of the Valve after removing, using any kind of solvent that will remove carbon build up. By spraying it inside the two holes ect...

Place the flat end of a screw driver on the EACV while the engine is running. Place the handle against your ear and listen. Should hear something in there jumping back and fourth at a rapid rate.

First, get rid of those crimp connectors. Second, the signal from the cyl position sensor needs to be shielded all the way back to the ECU. Is it? If the car was a DX, it won't have that wire in the harness, and you'll have to make it. If it is shielded cable, and soldering doesn't fix it, try reversing the leads.
