[igot310s]

can sum1 tell me why my cars at 3000 rpms at only 65 mph? the (S) light blinks. i hooked up a jumper wire n it read off a code 9. sum1 told me replace the distributor n i did.. still got a code 9. can ne1 help me with this situation? i cant stand the car being like this cuz i never really feel safe driving constantly at 60 mph.. i dont wanna push it 2 hard cuz itz got 320,000 miles on it. any help would b grealy appreciated.

are you sure it is 9 because thats the cyp (cylinder sensor) and that is in the dizzy, so you might want to double check your code.

a code 9 is the no.1 cylinder sensor, which is in your distributer. if you already replaced it check your wiring.

checked it about 4 times.

well i did get it from the junkyard.. i just dont wanna put tha money in2 a new distributor if it is just the wiring. but i guess ill try a new 1.. if that is the problem should the car run regular? (if there are no more codes given off)

i just spent a week doing ignition wiring work so im feeling pretty comfortable with it lol.

there should be a harness with 7 wires coming out of the distributer to a connector in the front of it.

the wires are: to ecu pin#

orange/blue B13

blue/green B15

orange B11

white/blue B14

white B12

blue/yellow B16

your ecu is under the carpet in the passanger side foot area towards the firewall

check these wires using a resistance (Ohms) meter to make sure theyre making a connection from the dizzy to the ECU

the crank angle sensor helps generate a speed signal, so that may be why it wont go into overdrive

hope this helps

yea if any sensor in the dizzy goes bad you need to replace the whole thing, but id say check the wiring first, if i had done that i would have saved myself literally hours of frusytration this week. good luck budday, and i have a Chilton and Hayes guide for accords if you need anything looked up.

[nope]

the S light meaning the "sport" light correct?

You guys are misleading the OP:

Code 9 for Auto Transmissions is not the Cylinder Sensor, it's Code 9 - Counter shaft or transmission speed pulse generator open or shorted.

ECU and TCU codes are totally different. "S" or "D4" light will give you a transmission code. In addition , the CEL will light for the Cylinder code.

In his case , it's the "S" for the TCU code.

is your torque conv. locking up? mine wasnt locking up till i cleaned my iacv, and adjusted the fitv.

crap, my bad, i must have just read over his post too fast

Check this thread for your code. Replacing the distributor is if your Check Engine light were to come on, not your "S" light. Here are your TCU codes... http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?p=1394464
