I have a crx 1990 witha zc in it . i have a 88crxsi harness in it The car wont start. it throws a 9 code on the si ecu could the camsensor be bad or wired wrong?? it has no spark at all. but power on all the distributor and coil. i wired it color for color. The car originally had this motor with the dx harness but would quit going down the road and wont fire up. i then put new coil in ran for 1 hour the quit. so i proceeded to put a si harness in it. thanks for any help guys!!
 
was the car originally a DX? did you swap out the entire chassis and engine harnesses for the Si? did it have any codes when it was running before you swapped harnesses?
 
Really dont know about it was a dx model or not . the guy i got it from said it was. I just changed the harness.cause the other was butched up bad. and never really checked codes before. yes, i am a noob. just want this to run and not just throw money at it. had the same symtoms about before. thanks
 
is it a TD03U distributor? have you tried swapping the 2 white wires at the distributor? code 9 usually means that the camshaft timing is off, but it could be in the wiring or a bad cylinder sensor (rare for it to be bad) - blue/green wire from the harness to the blue/green on the cylinder sensor and blue/yellow from harness to blue/yellow on sensor - is the ground wire at the thermostat housing connected securely?
 
it is a td-o3 and the wires are wired that way. grounds are intact at the thermostat housing. will check the wire the white ones.
 
Ok guys the harness has 1 white wire and 2 others shielded . 1 of the shielded has the orange and white wires sheilded in one . and the other has orange /blue striped and white/blue striped in it . where is this second white wire???
 
ok guys checked the distributor. the crank/cyl sensor was between the parameters with a 367ohms. the resistance is to be between 350-550. still can only find 1 white wire in the distributor harness to it. does it matter if its a 88si harness or not?? just dont have the money to throw at it!! WTF!!!:confused: the harness to the dist. hastwo shielded wires with 2 wires enclosed in them . wire color as said before. HELP!!!!!!!!
 
Ok guys, fixed the code 9. faulty wiring. in plug . But now its throwing a code 15. Is this the igniter likely?? let me know your ideas>thanks !!
 
I did it says no ignition output. But sometimes that don't meen that exacly. don't want to throw money at it and find out its not the part! So what better thing to do but ask you guys your experience????
 
I would like to thank all of you who hit me back !!!! I have the car running;)!!!!!!!!! Hooray!!!! but the idle now raises up and down between 1000rpm and 1800 at idle mode whats up????? thanks again fellas for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
