Since the search isn't working I thought I would post my question. I have a b16a in a crx and am throwing a code 15 (ignition output signal). My car cranks, but won't start. What are the possible causes and how do I fix this problem? Thanks.

 

try a new coil or new ignitor.

 

i have the same problem going on with a b 16 swap in a hatch and if i find the cause before you do i willl let you know what it is and i wounld appreciate the same thing my e-mail is gordo1473@aol.com

 

Code 15 refers to the circuit FROM the ECU which tells the ignitor to fire the coil. I don't think a bad coil can cause that. Bad ignitor, or bad wiring between ECU & ignitor. You can look for loose or corroded wiring connected to the ignitor. Loose/dirty plug at the distributor? Stuff like that.

 

ok i have replaced the ignition control module and the same thing is happening.we have tracked it down to the injectors are not getting power to them.i dont know if this is a telltale sign of anything but anyones help is appreciated

 

That sounds strange. I thought injectors having no power should throw code 16, not 15.

That's correct, sounds like there are multiple problems. Has he checked his fuses?

 

we have checked all fuses, relays all i can guess is there is either a ground issueor the like.i get fuel to the rail and nothing through the injectors. injectors are new.

Do you have battery voltage at the blk/yel wire on the distributor? (with the key on)

Is the ground wire bolted to the t-stat housing clean and tight?

 

i have seen SOME cases wehre a bad ecu can cause a code 15, but most often at work i see code 15 caused by the coil beind bad, ESPECIALLY on internal coil setups. btw i work at a honda only repair shop.

 

not to sound ignorant but what is the t-stat housing?
