ok, I bought a 5th gen hatch with a ZC that threw the CAS sensor code and cut fuel at 3400. the harnesses on 5th gen has 9 wires total to the dist and the ZC had 7 total. the way to fix this if anyone is interested in making their hatch alot faster for around 650 total, here it is.
get a B20B distributor(others might work but I only personally know that this exact one works so i dont gaurantee others will work) and take your distributor out. now when you pull yours out, look on the back of the driv gear or whatever its called, on one side of the two bumps there is a groove, and before you put in the B20 dist, turn the drive gear so that the grooves in the same position, and plop it in.there is only on position you can put the distributor in so that a bolt lines up. it will be the lower rear hole. and the bolt goes in and holds it, but no room for timing adjustment, but it runs good at this setting. now when you look at your old distributor, the firing order was 1-3-4-2. move all wires one position counter clockwise because the rotor is not in the same position to the drive gear as it was on the stock distributor. the blue goes to the blue, the black/yellow goes to the black/yellow. and then look at the harness plug and your very original dist plug, the one in the D15 or whatevr you pulled. there is 8 holes (2x4), 7 are used. once you used the blue and black yellow freokm the B20 it leaves the same pattern of 8 holes(2x4) and again 7 are used of them. and set the D15s dist plug next to the B20s dist plug, where as looking at them you see the same pattern, they both have same colored wires, and wherever the peach went from the stock dist to the harness, cut that wire and tap it into the peach on the b20, dist. repeat for peach/blue, white, white/blue, blue, blue/yellow, and yellow/green.
start the car up and have fun. If this is widely known knowledge sorry for wasting forum space, but noone could help me on my many posts aboiut this problem so Im guessing this will help.
when I get a timing light ill check it to see what its at, but when i pulled it to put in a 5 speed I dont re,member seeing timing marks on the crank pulley, are there?
