All I can suggest is that I know the most common ECU's run with ZC's are the actual ZC ECU, PM7, or a PG7 from a '86-'89 Integra. I'm not sure if that would help the problem, but it is a suggestion. Don't worry, I'm sure someone will be able to help, and if not, check out http://www.thezcr.com. The site is dedicated to that engine.

code 9 is your exhaust cam sensor that is next to your distributor...ts the little box you had to extend two blue wires too, first i would switch the blue wires, you might have them reversed...if that doesnt work get one from a 88-89 integra...

I am aware of how easy it is, about 6 wires. Sensor is brand new from acura. I bought the car as a shell so I don't know what is issues it already had. I love people who have no clue what the **** they are talking about. Car run great for a while. Hey crxgator, I guess the wires un-soldered themselves and then switched, re-soldered themselves and then even shrinkwrapped back together. stupid ****

ok, then with all the money you spend on some guy to fix it, you can buy a brand new harness from honda and call it the day, and you wont have any wires that were fucked to begin with...not my fault you bought a car that was fucked from the begining, your the stupid **** that did that not me...
