ZC code 8 dizzy and timing questions
I put in my ZC this weekend in my 91 CRX Si. Im having problems getting it running. So here are my questions.
1. When wireing up my new dizzy i tried following charts i found online. But looking at the diagrams and at my actuall harness the wires are different. Everywhere i looked it shows
blue,blue yellow
white, white red, peach
white blue, peach blue
but on my harness it goes
blue, blue yellow
white, peach, white red
peach blue, white blue
so what do i just match up the colores from my harness to my dizzy and forget what the sites where saying?
2. On the dizzy 1 sits on the top left when the dizzy is on the car right. Then 3 4 2 in a clockwise order?I
3. With the cams and crank at TDC the rotor inside the dizzy point up. If it moves in clockwise postion it looks like its just past #1? But if it moves ccw it would then fire 1243 with the way i have the plugs. Anyone know anything about this?
4. When i actually got the car started for like 2 seconds I threw a code 8. TDC. It barely ran then died. I tried switching the 2 white wires from my dizzy but then alls it did was crank? It also looks like to me that my timing got thrown a notch. Is my dizzy shot?
5. Got a few questions about the timing marks on the crank pully. When I go to reset my timing i want my crank at TDC which is the loan mark seen threw the site right? Some people say use the loan one others say use the middle one of the three? Im kinda confused by this.
I can post pics of anything if that would help anyone understand what im trying to say. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re:ZC code 8 dizzy and timing questions
i dont get what are you trying to say..
go to quickhonda.net for the pin outs and colors to the dizzy wiring...
and if you kno you hooked it up right and still gettin that code.. its your dizzy and you have to get a new one.. only the 88-89 integra will fit i think.. if you have a 90-91 zc atleast....my car had a similar/same problem after a year. it starts then dies and the rpm jumps up and down like a dance freak on extasy on code 8.
and for your spark plug wire sequence just look at another honda/acura 4 cylinder engine they are all in the same order.. i cant tell you anyting because it all depends on the way you look at it.
