CPS

[dohczcrx]

So i just swaped a dohc zc into my 90 crx si on top of that i threw a new harness in there everything was perfect then i started it and it threw code 9 i checked the self diagnostic for code 9 and it said to check the ohm's on the cps , and make sure their between 700-1000 i read 1090 is this enough to throw that code also would a d16a1 CPS be a working substitute, thnx.

a cps from a d16a1 will work perfect...

make sure your camshaft timing is correct before you go to the expense and trouble of swapping the CPS - they rarely go bad and code 9 on the DOHC ZC is usually due to incorrect exhaust cam timing

if you have your timing belt cover on it will rub on the timing belt making it slip.

Nah i got my timing belt cover off my timing is off by like 1 tooth and correct me if im wrong but f my timing was off wouldnt my car run like shit all the time not just not stay idleing?

one tooth it will still run not as good as it should but it will still run aight

[dohczcrx]

I feel dumb, got it to tdc and the timing was off by like a tooth on the exhaust and intake loosened the tensioner got em lined up and now it runs perfect =/ still throwing code 9 ill do some more investigating and get it taken care of

all your sensors for that code are in your distributor.. change it out or make sure it is on correctly

all your sensors for that code are in your distributor.. change it out or make sure it is on correctlythe OBD0 DOHC ZC has the Cylinder sensor on the end of the exhaust camshaft and is not in the distributor - posts like this are what get people confused - please don't post if you don't know what you are talking about
