im runnin a code 9 in my 93 civic hatch si...
the car wont start...and when it died, it just stalled outta no where...
i believed it to be my distributor and bought a new one...i just put it on my car n it still wont start...

im not sure if code 9 is for my distributor..thats what i was told...if anyone has a chart of ecu codes or knows what could be the problem please help me out...thanx

 

indeed 9= cyl sensor which is contained within the distributor.

for future:

so if i have a problem with my cylinder...it will read the code from the distributor?

also...

after i put the new distributor on...the car still wouldnt kick over...i got new spark plugs and it starts fine...

but now, when i press the gas to rev the engine...if i floor it too fast then the engine starts to kick out n sometimes shuts off

it runs fine if i barely touch the gas...
i dont kno what to do...please help

 

bump for needing the car for college!

 

then check your t-belt, usually a sign of the t-belt be stretched or being off a couple teeth... i would check -t belt then replace dist..... I did it recently on a frineds car for him and had to replace both belt and dist....

 

i am having the same problem with my teg. car bogs and ides sometimes out of no where and throws a code 9. i bought a brand new distibutor housing from acura which contains a new sensor and it still throws a code 9.

i have heard of the timing belt issue before so i may check it out. though my car only has 30,xxx miles on it.

 

i believe my timing is off though...i moved the distributor in other positions and it worked better and also worse...

so im gettin a tune up and hopefully itll be good...after i get it done ill write back on here on how it turned out...

 

i took it to a dealer mechanic n he tells me that he doesnt see anything wrong...

he tells me that i may have a wrong part in my <A TITLE="Click for more information about car" STYLE="background-color: #f0f000; " HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||cars|AA1VDw">car</A> from the distributor...but it read the same part # as the stock one...

he told me nuthings wrong with my timing....so i have no clue why its hesitating to run all the time...im not reading a code anymore though...its pissin me off...im about to swap

 

same problem here.
