OK electrical guys...cars throwing code 9...

[Zeus]

My blown GSR's throwing code 9 which is cylinder #1 position sensor... I check the Hanes(I know but it was quick) and it says to check pins #4 & #8 on the distributer harness to see if I get the spec .5-1.0 kilo ohms. I get .448 kilo ohms. So I go on to check the TDC sensor(.452 kilo ohms) and the CKP sensor which reads in the same range under the bottom spec .5 ... It gos on to say to check for continuity to ground on the same pins..."continuity should NOT exist". I feel kinda stupid asking, but what is "continuity to ground", and how do I check it? Thoughts on my problem people?

Good luck with this one. More than likely you are going to find you are dealing w/ a code 90 instead! And I quite frankly have just learned to live with it. I have tried everything under the sun and nothing works. I too thought it was a code 9 and had the dealership change out the distributor for a new one. No dice. Figure this one out and you become my new hero!

Im your hero!.....I had the same thing..and it was my gas cap!......Make sure to tighten MORE than Three clicks...it solved my problem!

It was my problem for nearly 6 months!...not no more!

Code 90 on a obd-2

[gsrev]

nope you are not my hero!!! I even replaced my gas cap , while I was at it, replace the purge solenoid, canister, distributor, put in a check valve, replace the canister valve, ran vacuum test in the fuel system. Arggh.. I give up, I absolutely hate OBD2, when I transplant my heart and soul into the civic I am going to use obd1, less head aches. Trade this puppy in in stock form and let the next person worry about the light. I hope to be cruzing in a 00' TL soon! (that's what the jefita wants .. good choice )

Yeah that code 90 is a biotch. I got lucky and we caught the problem after looking at it a few times. Hope yours isn't a code 90, they are tough to get rid of!!

If it -is- a code 90, my problem was a overly crimped purge solenoid. The connector had cut through one of the wires. New connector, no more engine code...

Good luck.
