Testing the TDC on a D17A1 01-04 Civic

Does anyone have the procedures for testing the TDC on a D17A1. I have a new one on order but I would rather test the old one then blindly replace it.

? Not sure what you're talking about. TDC=Top dead center, the position of the crankshaft/piston. You can't really replace it.

I'm confused too... How do you replace Top Dead Center?

You gotta replace the whole internals of the distributor....

I'm sorry guys for not being more clear. When I said testing the TDC, I meant the TDC sensor, aka the Camshaft sensor. It senses the angle/rotation of the camshaft in realation to the the crank, sends the signal back to the ECM and allows the proper fuel management.

The 01-05 Civics have direct coil ignition systems so it is not in the distributor. If I remember correctly, the 01 was the first year the Civics had distributor-less ignitions.

But I found the procedures in a service manual.
