heres a quik explanation of my .... The car was running with a 88-89 PG7 ecm, and wouldnt pass emissions, so I decided to try out the Si Ecu to lean it out, but when the Si ecm went in the engine light turned on after the motor warms up, a Mechanic say its the cam angle sensor thats throwing a code. but it turns back off when the PG7 is put in, except for yesterday i was mobbing with Si and it was running horribly so I put back the Pg7 and now the engine light wont turn off =\

I beleive my motors a 87 integra motor, not a true ZC.. oh yea wondering how do i check the check engine light to see if theres anything else wrong with it

 

what year car? i take it, its in a 1st gen crx or 3rd gen civic...

 

Its in a 90 4dr Civic DX....I think the swap was done back in like 95 -96

 

is it a black top DOHC ZC? Does the engine code say ZC?

Check the code by pulling back the carpet. Turn the car on (don't start it) and count the blinks then get back with us.

 

it blinks 9 time .. and no its not that black top and theres no ZC badge on the motor .. plus the engine mount on the cam side is from a civic and the oil filter is the big ones from a 87

 

hahaha-have fun with that code 9. Me and my buddy tried to get rid of it for 8 months on his 91 DOHC ZC. We redid the timing countless times, replaced the cam angle sensor twice( even though the multimeter said it was ok).

So we dropped in a Z6 this weekend.

*edit*
Why did you say DOHC ZC if it's not?

 

ever occur to you, you might have the two blue wires switched...

 

I didnt do the Swap and it never turned on before, till the Si ecu went in

Started playing with the timing one day and cel light went away. Does your timing jump when you but a light on it? These motors seem very sensitive with that sensor not being inside the dizzy.
