Recent swap or old swap and the problem just started? I've gotten this code when I had the 2 wires on the cylinder position sensor (infront of the Distributor) backwards.

tdc is inside the distributor i believe. isn't CYP the one on the exhaust cam? whatever the case, check your wiring, and if it is a sensor inside the distributor, and you've verified your wiring is correct, then you'll need a new distributor from a ZC or an 88-89 Integra.

Yup the CPS is on the exhaust cam and the zc is one of the few freak motors that has it there. Usually they're built into the distributor. I thought the TDC sensor and the CYP sensor were the same thing, just by a different name (Ex. Ecu = Ecm).
As both names imply they monitor the position of the piston(s) so it knows where the engine is on its stroke.
Anyone else have input? I'm curious

oh yeah only reason for the confusion on the white and the white with red wires is that the red on the wire is like rubbed off. and its like i have two white wires.

Just for clarification, does this mean the car is working fine now or is the code still there?

if it was running properly, and you haven't changed any wiring, and now you're getting a TDC code then it's a problem with your distributor. get the proper one from an integra, scrap that Si one that shouldn't be on there anyway.

DO you have a distributor from and 88-89 INTEGRA? If so but that one on, the integra is the correct distributor.
Then let us know what happens.
