Read the link.
The sensor is part of the distributor.

Isn't that in the distributor in our cars? Four short blinks, right?

You can't throw a code for a part you don't have unless you're not using the right ECU for your engine.

Yes, which I've already spoon fed him the link for it.
....but, I was ignored.







CODE 4 – Crank Angle Sensor.

Crank Angle Sensor – monitors the rotation of the crankshaft

What to do: Make sure the electrical connectors are on tight and properly connected. Make sure the position of the distributor is right that way it's supposed to be. If all else fails, replace the distributor and reset the ECU.

OK you possible dont understand the problem. I called HONDA, the manufacturer of the car and asked for any information on the crank position sensor. They started research, then concluded that in 1993 there was NO crank position sensor. So im not sure who to believe, a bunch of teenagers with nothing better to do then spend money on their car or honda motor company.

Okay, don't fix your damn car.


Not my problem.
I tried to help you with a solution.
But, I got a "fuck off".
So, buh-bye.
G/L with your CEL.

I'd believe this "bunch of teenagers with nothing better to do then spend money on their car" (most of us aren't)... the crank sensor is in the distributor.

Replace it or don't replace it.

i cant believe you would believe a clueless employee at a dealership who has never worked on a CB7 before and only knows what the shop computer tells him, instead of listening to a website of thousands of CB7 enthusiasts who know EVERY detail about this chassis, and could help you in 2083974890 more ways than the dealership could. the only thing they are good for is for their parts department.

why would you come to us for help, if you dont believe us anyway?

[Jon]

If you don't believe us, here's some more info.

OK, I'm a former honda technician, your car does have it, and yes it's in the distributor, I just checked on the honda network to confirm. (I still have access to their system). if you needed diagnostic info, let me know and I'll post it for you.
If the dumb shit advisor didn't have a clue as to where to look, then he should get another job, and for the most part, I've found some of the "teenagers with nothing better to do than spend money on their car" to be as knowledgeable, if not more experienced than some of those so-called honda employees.
