I'm not able to find in the helms what the sensor on the B18B1, that is down by the crank pulley. I thought it was a crank angle sensor, but that is part of the Distributor (B16A1 head). Anyone have any ideas?

is it on the same side as the pulley or the back side of the motor?

 

Crank speed fluctuation sensor maybe?

 

96+ will have a crankshaft fluctuation sensor on the crank timing belt gear.

 

Yeah that is probably it. Its out of a 1996 Integra LS, but my documents don't mention a crankshaft fluctuation sensor, so I'm assuming its optional when using an ODB0 B16A head/harness/ecu.

 

It's used on some OBD2 cars. It's sensitive enough for the ECU to determine a single cylinder missfire. (Along with input from the o2 sensor.)

 

Isn't that a tdc sensor? or crank position sensor? I guess were talking about the same thing; crank fluctuation sensor.

 

Those are three seperate sensors.

 

bump from the dead cause i found the same sensor on a '97 D16Y8 that i just pulled from a buddy's car. i am planning on swapping in an OBD1 D15B1 which does not have the same sensor. will not running this sensor while using the OBD2 ECU make it run in limp mode or just throw a CEL?


*before anyone asks* my buddy seized up the Y8 by running it with little or no oil and he just wanted a cheap replacement to get it running again. i considered swapping over the oil pump from the Y8 (with the sensor), but I'm afraid that the pump isn't in the greatest condition.

 

you dont need to add the sensor; you can just wire the ckf to the ckp.

 

thanks, i'm assuming that the D15B1 has the crank position sensor? you don't happen to know where the CKP is on the engine, do you? the CKF i know is a 2-wire sensor, is the CKP a 2-wire sensor also? just check with a multi-meter to see which wire to splice to which wire?
