code 9 - WTF!!!! & Code #9 again...MERGED
 

Code 9______No. 1 cylinder position

i keep getting this code as soon as i turn my car on. how the hell do i fix this and what the hell caused it? my afc was acting up this morning, some of the connections must have come loose some how, because i noticed the display had turned off. i fixed the loose connections and made sure they were secure. my afc works again, but now i keep getting this code. i have tried resetting the ecu twice, but that didn't help. any suggestions are welcome.

also, i just read that this is only a valid code on dohc motors. is this true? if so, WTF? i have a sohc and am using a pm6 ecu.

Re:code 9 - WTF!!!!
 

no it is good on sohc motors and usually waht causes it is the dizzy. the berrring in the dizzy starts to get sloppy and then it makes the sensor think its off. Time to replace the lower half of the dizzy!

Code #9 again...
 

I tried not to repost, but i could not reply here: https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...threadid=10323

Well, i have this problem also on an a6 dizzy, and the cheapest i can get a used dizzy around here is 185$.That is the only one around here in the metro detroit area junkyards(the 7 wire one)and it might not even be there anymore. And the fucken car doesn't run well with the cel. Well, the dealership wants like 600$ for a new one and like 400ish for the bottom end... so i'm fucked because the distributor crapped out like 3 days ago with a bad ignition coil, i relpaced that and now its sunday and everything is close... what i wanted to know is if there is any way i can use parts off of my z6 dizzy to make this one work. thanks

----! need another quick question answered... okay, i really don't have any money i wanna spend on this car since i plan on keeping it in the garage almost all of the winter so that it doesn't rust due to michigan's overuse of road salt and since the car hasn't seen that ---- yet. In that garage i'm finally gonna throw my turbo on, which includes a 6-btm... so i wanna know if i need to fix the dizzy for the btm to run, which i am relizing more and more that i do.. ----... ???! so.. where is the site shipping from?? :-\

Re:Code #9 again...
 

The BTM will proberly requite you ahvea full correct dizzy in there. The site is in colorado but it should only take 3-4 days to get to you.

Re:Code #9 again...
 

did you try posting a WTB here in the classifieds to see if maybe someone or 10 has one laying around?

Re:Code #9 again...
 

yeah, that's the thing is that i needed it right now! i needed it to get my car going so i could get to school... well that didn't fucken work. I spent like 160$ at a junkyard that i had to visit twice (30 min away from me each way = 2 hours of driving) because they had to pull it off and the people that did that ---- were at lunch.

The problem was even worse... i got into the car the next day after the cel, and it didn't start! It didnt' even crank! SO... i was 'what the ---- could cause this.' First thing was check the alarm that i bought the car with, and tired to unhook the thing... didn't work! So, i took off the starter and alternator(i was thinking maybe my ---- kept going wrong cause my alterator was bad) and these shits checked out to be fine. I donno what else could be wrong.... all i know is that when i tried to push start it w/ the bad dizzy, it worked but with the cel. Maybe bad igniton switch??? Any and all help would be appreciated!

Re:code 9 - WTF!!!!
 

ok, ,so you got a junkyard dizzy and popped it on, no go?

did u swap the coil, ignitor, cap and rotor from your dizzy to the JY one? still not even cranking? checked the battery?

Re:code 9 - WTF!!!! & Code #9 again...MERGED
 

did you check the wires at the plugs for the dizzy? bad connection ect. ECU ground on the thermostat housing? Did you clear the codes?

Not being rude but a little details abouy the JY dizzy would help. I mean there IS a chance you got a bad one.

Also read the Chiltons and do the tests with the ohm meter.
