OPK guys, 90 civic with mpfi swap. It's reading error 20, what is it? plus the car wont start, but its because i have no spark.
anyone? i should've done asearch i think

 

20 is the Electrical Load Detector. I doubt that would cause a no spark condition. Did you just complete the swap, or was the car running with the swap for a while? Double check your wiring mods.

 

nope, car hasnt started since, but i thinkits the distributor not working cause i get error 9 also. could error 20 be theresister box?? since its suppose to down the voltage for the injecters??

 

I had a 90 CX and i had the same code 20 !! To get rid of that code i replaced the fuse box (the fuse box under the hood, the original one didn't have a electric load dector) with a fuse box that had one !!

Then you have to run the green wire from the electic load dector in your fuse box to the pin ( B something , dont remember which # ,had to look on a wiring diagram) in you car attached to the computer !!

And ground the black wire coming from the electric load detector !!

Even with a code 20 your car WILL START !!

Mine did !!! Its pobably the injectors !!

 

The code 20 will only flash when you will have another CEL problem. The check engine light stay off else this code. Clear the other code and he will be erase This is what I did with my JDM computer

 

1990 CX and DX DONT have electirc load dectors so when you plug in a computer from a DOHC motor or OBD 1 computer it flashes a code 20 becuse there's an open loop !! Becuase those computers come from cars that have an Electric load dector fuse dector in the fuse box !!!

 

Will the lack of not having the ELD hooked up hurt performance??
