And the story... I was driving with my crx one day, then it crashed and didnt start anymore, i went home, and we bringed crx later and noticed that "Distributors"'s spinner has broken, i bought new spinner and it started again, and then it wasnt running right and ECU said error code 4 and Yellow light lighted up. CRX has been in my garage now for 2 weeks and i really dont know anything what to do...

Well, car its not running right. ECU says error code 4 what means "CKP Sensor (Crankshaft Position Sensor)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor " .. I have heard that the sensor is located in distributor. I hope i can find some help from here to my problem that isnt getting anywhere... Motor's max rpm is now 3000.

Thanks already
:wink:

Does 'spinner' mean rotor? Anyway, there are two plugs on the side if the distributor. Make sure they well plugged in. Check inside the rotor and make sure there are no metal chips on the pickup for the cylinder position wheel. Thats the wheel with the 16 vanes. Good luck.

While you have the distributor opened up when checking the CPS make sure the screw that holds on the rotor (spinner) did not come loose. Sounds dumb but Ive heard it before.
