got a 94 civic CX HB which is OBD1 correct? and in it is a ZC which is OBD0 and the stock auto, ECU, and harness.
I have my B20 sitting in the garage, but due to cash flow problems, dont have the money for my tranny(on I got off ebay ended up to be crap)
so Im gonna jnust put the ZC back in and get it running, sell it, sell off my other 2 vehicles and get a 3rd gen teg again, and then pull the B18 and trade it for the B20 and sell the B18B longblock, and it will be alto simpler as well than if I continued to put it in the hatch.
but my problem is, fuel cuts off at3400, check engine light ids always on, and it throws code 4 which is crank angle sensor. I called acura and asked if 86-89 integraas had them(closest relative to my engine in US right?) and they said no but they had a TDC seonsor whihc is basicaly the same thing. well my neighbor just got a 91 civic LX sedan and out of his dist. he has the same 2 wires to the coil (blue and black/yellow) and the same number of wires to the other plug(peach, peach/blue, white/white blue and another I forgot the color) my dist has those same colors coming out and the 5th wire is white so im guessing his 5th wire is too, but the harness in my car has the 2 to the coil plus 7 others, 2 blues, two yellows, two oranges and a (white I think, not at my car so cant look).
my main question is do OBD 0 cars have 1 more sensor in the dist. than in OBD 1 cars? cuz I got two wires that I cant put anywhere but ;leave em hanging, whic Im guessing my ECU is not reading the CAS, instead of it being bad(cde 4 says no signal to ECU as well as faulty sensor)
could I get a dist from a OBD1 D series car and put it on the ZC and that way it will just wire up like stock and Ill have no more fuel cutoff. or does it get driven/mount differently. I tried the B20 dist, just for fun, but it dont fit of course.
and also, when I go to convert it to manual before I sell it, I think the ECU controls the shifting of the auto so will it get confused when theres no trans for it to control? or will it work fine? and are ZC's when you get the MPFI or did the guy use the manifold off the stock engine when he put it in?
please help me ASAP, I need to get this running so I can put some cash back in my wallet
