Ok, i have a 91 civic dx, with a b16 i just recently dropped in. its running fairly well.

the only code im throwing is 4, which seems to be the Crank Postion Sensor. its idleing at 2 grand, and its running a little rich.

now i have swiched the 2 wires on the distrubutor and it made it run like ****, so i switched them back.

anybody have anhy ideas on what i might do ?

its running fairly smooth, minus the fact its idleing at 2k, but it hits vtec.

oh and there is also a bog when it hit WOT from 2500 to around 4000 rpm

any ideas ?

any help wouild be apprecitated

thanks

Dan,

 

when i had a code 4 i got a new distributor and it solved the problem,

soo check your wiring again, check it on the ecu side, and if worse comes to worse find a new distributor.

 

did your car idle high and bog whan you hade the code ?

just wondering.

 

car ran like ****, and wouldnt rev past 3 k

 

If the computer is telling you to replace the distributor, try replacing the distributor.

Just a thought.

 

Did you do the wiring yourself ? If so did you shield the wire by the dizzy ?

 

no the computer doesn't tell me to replace the distributor, it simply gives me a code 4 which is Crank Position Sensor, which is in the distributor. therefore i was wondering if i replaced it, if it would fix my problem.

 

It's telling you the crank position sensor is not working, which indicates a faulty distributor. Unless the wiring is done wrong, yes, try a new distributor If you're curious if it's a problem before you replace, go to a junkyard and ask to test an LS distributor.... someone please tell me the year again that works. It won't bolt up quite right but the electronics should be correct.

 

humm i guess i'll start looking for a newer used b16 distruibtor

thanks for the help

Do you mean like a Del Sol VTEC one? Won't work... it's OBD-I. I've heard you can swap the guts from an LS distributor into a B16 distributor casing. Anyways, 90-91 is the year you want.

 

Since you never answered me the first time, I'll ask again, did you do the wiring yourself ?

 

No, i diddnt do the wiring myself, i had a friend do it, he's very good and i trust him completly, we have been over the wiring time and time again

he said he thinks its the distributor cause its throwing CPS code # 4

so i think thats what im going to have to do

 

Well when you did the wiring, did you make sure you shielded the wire properly.
