Default CEL code 8, TDC sensor on DOHC zc


Well I eliminated most of my problems after the swap, and the last one Is this, code 8. TDC sensor, I didnt change or mess with anything involving the dizzy.

My symptoms, the car starts right up, at low RPM's when Im taking off it sputters a little bit and has some flat spots. It does fine at higher RPM's though. It also backfires a little when you let off the gas at low RPM's Also once when I was driving it I hit the gas RPM's started to climb the BAM!! and the car shut off. I couldnt get it to start either, the next day it started right up. I checked my timing with the timing light and the middle marks are lined up.

Any help would be appreciated

Try another distributor assembly & double check your engine harness's distributor wiring.

What dizzy does the DOHC zc use? 89 Integra or a regular si one? Also I did a mpfi swap with this and I was told theres no wiring to be done at the dist.

I just done this swap a couple of days ago and I'm running into the same problem as you are or rather "were"... when my car is cold it bogs and the throttle doesnt respond good at all... but when it warms up it runs almost fine but you cant stomp the throttle because it'll still bog... did you ever fix this problem..? I know this post was like 3 years ago but I just found this post on google... lol
