What type of problem will I encounter if I didn't use this sensor with a obd2 ecu?

 

Im pretty sure the ECU needs to know where the crank is to know where the engine is in the stroke.

 

the car wont start

 

CKF sensor you mean.
-PHiZ

 

It will put you in limp mode.

 

Whats limp mode? I'm having the same problem.

 

just convert it over to obd1 and not worry about it

 

how do you convert it to a obd1?

 

obd2 to obd1 jumper harness and a obd1 ecu

 

So if you convert your car to obd1 you dont need the ckf any more? I thought you had to change the distributor or some ****? I hope you don't need it anymore because i hate that f*ckin thing.

if you just use a "jumper harness" and an OBD1 computer your "under the hood" harness stays the same so you keep your distributer (sorry)...the jumper harness plugs in where your stock computer plugs in and then connects to the OBD1 computer.....this is the easiest way to tune also...and no you wont need the crank angle sensor anymore.

 

what about the crank Fluctuation sensor

 

Just wire the crank angle sensor to the cam angle sensor. I've done it several time with no performance problems

how did you do this? do you think if i did this i would pass visual for California Certification (BAR)?

 

Hi. i actually found this thread very helpful... i have a obd2 engine in my 94 cx hatch. im using the stock obd1 harness that was on the 1.5 l motor. i am running a obd1 ecu, i had to run knock sensor, vtec wires and o2 sensor. as fasr as the crank sensor, i did not need it since my obd1 ecu wont look for it. so i just clipped the wires, and runs fine. no codes...
