so i was chillin at my house and i had my timing retarded on the distributor for when i was running nitrous .. well know im not running nitrous so i advanced it just a lil bit i get in my car to drive to a buddys and my car throughs a code 9 ( No. 1 Cylinder Position .CYP Sensor) i have no idea if it has anything to do with the timing or where the cyp sensor is to see if it came unplugged or something .. any info will help .. thanks

Reset your ECU, if that dosnt work then your sensoris fawked

yea i reset the ecu but i started her back up and she popped right on ... the code says its a un plugged or defective sensor .. so does this mean there is nothing wrong with the position of cyl. one .. its just the sensor ??

I dont think anything is wrong with your timing, just a fudged up sensor, its inside the distributor, a whole unit that has a 2 wires going to it (i think) there is 3 sensors, Cyp/Tdc and some third one, Go to the wreckers and get a new one if you can, I snuck mine out in my pocket...Its cheaper than buying a new Distributor.

These things go at the most random times, Mine went on a SOHC ZC the day I bought my car, right when I got to my city after a 120 mile drive.

yea i just remembered i have a haynes manuel so ill go look it p in there .. not that it will be the same (have haynes for 99-00civic's with b16s) i have a first gen b16 but it should give me an idea of what to look for

The distributor components should be the same inside for all honda models 88-2000, right now i'm using an ignition coil in my B18 dizzy from my SOHC ZC dizzy, so i'm poretty sure the components were the same, dont quote me on that one though, I might be wrong.
