OK, so I'm new to the forums and I'm also fairly inexperienced with DIY car maintenance, but if anybody can help, I would really appreciate it.
The problem:
I've got an 87 civic sedan with a 90 Integra b18 in it. I was driving it about a month ago on the freeway when all of the sudden, it semi-shut down. It wouldn't go above appx. 3100 rpms (I assume 'limp-home mode). Then, when I went to drive it to the shop, it wouldn't start. After some research, I checked my ECU which gave me codes 1,4,17 a.k.a. bad O2 sensor, Crank position sensor, and vehicle speed sensor. I changed my O2 sensor, and it seemed to clear the codes from my ecu, but the car still wouldn't start. The ecu doesn't show any codes anymore, and I was hoping it was just a bad ecu, but I assume the problem is my distributor, but I dont know for sure. The car turns over strong, fuel pump is running, changed fuel filter, spark plugs are good. How can I tell if the distributor is bad? Anyone have any advice?
