Got a new (rebuilt distributor) reset the ECU, tried to time the ignition, made sure cam timing is ok,

still getting the ECU code 9

I'm lost

 

need more info but had they exact problem in my 88si with a zc motor you have to go thru your timing. put it in tdc align the cam gears, and then try to set intial timing.

 

im assuming this is in an Si ?

 

ive got the same problem.. and im still stumped. Ive replaced my distributor a few times. ive heard it is the wiring.

 

i had this problem with my car also, but im swapped to mpfi. The problem was in wiring, i tore it all apart and redid it, and the codes gone now.

 

i'm gettin the same code now.
should i get a new distributer or should i re check the wiring

 

just swap and repin the two wires for the sensor

i dont remember the colors off the top of my head

but do a search and swap them should go away

 

does nebody have a good wiring diagram of the ignition system of a 91 crx si??? plz help
my service and repair manual sux

 

the wires go like this

c1(orange) to blue/green
c2(white) to blue/yellow

And you can check fourthgenhatch.com for all the wire colors theres a post at the top of this forum today.

 

also check b10 and b12 . tdc sensor

 

previous owner wired my zc swap, now im rewiring the entire car one wire at a time

 

swap the two wires that go teh Cam sensor, or sauter (sp) them if they are just twisted together. In most cases that code is due to crappy wiring or having the wires reversed. G/L

these wires

they run from the distributor to the ecu..check them, wire them, enjoy.

 

So, if one cam shaft is out of synch, this can happen???

I am getting this code, and am not quite sure why.

I have a 1992 B18A with a MSD cap, and a Blaster2. I had a #8 and #9

After reset, I am still getting a code #9

thanks for the help.

i have wired about 10 MPFI and they are sucesfull


on my car (ironic isnt) i cant get it right
thats the only code i have

i have done all in my power to get it away
-taken a new ecu in
-new distribuitor
-rewired it 4 times and still there
-switched the cables
-re-run cables with a shielded one and separate
and havent had iti working
i gave up since there seems to be not a solution, no power loss (dyno proven) and runs great... so i say **** it

 

I have the same problem on a 88hf with dohc zc. I've put on new sensor and dizzy and still have the problem. Even re-ran the wires to cps to ecu. nothing.
Can you put sotch hf dizzy on dohc zc. I want nothing to do with external sensor.

 

I just raised my idle a little, did my timing and it went away.

 

Anyone had this problem on a dohc zc? I know it is not the sensor or the wiring going to the sensor?

 

u sure its not the sensor on the exhaust cam?

EDIT: code #9 on a DOHC ZC is the sensor located on the exhaust cam.
