F22a6 wont go past 3000k

Lining up points on the distributor to match another car is not the same as setting your timing properly. Set your timing with a timing light.

If you halfass everything, there's no way we can help you. It's much easier to diagnose a problem when there aren't a handful of other things wrong that may or may not be contributing to it. If your ignition timing is way off, it will most certainly affect the way your engine runs.

Do note the car is at home and not at a shop. I dont have all the tools to better diagnose the car and check other troubleshoots. I am doing as much as i can with what i have at home. I will be taking it to the shop on Mon morning so saying i Half-ass what i am doing is out of the question.

The VSS does not have nothing to do with the cars RPM problem i simply just stated that.

Other websites state that there cars can go over 3000k on neutral. Which on the contrary my car does not. It reaches 3100-3400k and hits a limiter within that range. But yet you can go on the freeway with out full-throttle and get up to 70mph thats the fastest i have taking it.

A timing light is $30, and can very likely be borrowed from a local autoparts store for free. If a certain tool is necessary to fix your car (a timing light should always be used whenever you remove or adjust the distributor), and you do not have that tool, then anything you do is indeed halfassing. If you don't have the correct tools, either get them, or don't mess with that part of your car. You are defending your carelessness, and ignoring potential causes for your problem. You want answers, we're doing the best we can do with what you're giving us.

The VSS tells the ECU how fast the car is moving. That actually DOES affect the way the ECU fuels the engine. Of course, you know better... so I won't argue this point any further.


For someone that has no idea what's wrong with his car, you are certainly sure about damn near everything that's "not" wrong with it.





First thing, disconnect your cat as TypeG suggested. That will tell you if the cat is clogged, and the cause of your problem. That is something that costs no money, and you should have all the tools to do.

Second, buy or borrow a timing light and properly set your ignition timing. Even if that isn't the problem, it should be done anyway.

Third, try borrowing another ECU if you can.

I understand the point your trying to get at, and even still i appreciate your responds and will not argue about that,but I have not messed with anything on the distributor. I simply just compared the timing marks on my other accord do the one that has the problem but just visually.

I have yet to check the timing with the timing light which i will be doing come Monday at the shop.

As far as the swapping out the ecu i cant since im at work 12hrs and dont get off till late. But i will be able to do that Monday as well. I do have a P13 at home that i can have someone swapped out with a pt6 just to see if its related to ecu being the problem.

3000k.... damn bruh most F22As don't rev past 6K what's the problem????? :P

[DejectedAngel]

Ok so i pulled up a Code 4 Crank Position Sensor. Is that what causes the bogging at 3000k?

If so where is the location?

the sensor is in the dizzy.The sensor is sending a weak signal causing the ecu to go into limp mode in which you will be able to drive the car but not push it to its limit because the sensor cannot dish out a strong enough signal. You need a new dizzy.

[DejectedAngel]

Oh ok thanks forenza.

So pretty much theres no way of replacing just that sensor?

[Tippey764]

Nope, they are very precisely calibrated. I touched them and ruined a whole distributor

[DejectedAngel]

Dang! Oh well looks like i will be waiting on getting another dizzy. Since the local J/K CBs are hardly complete on the dizzy side.

Should it matter if its from a auto accord? Since mine is a manual f22a6.
I know 92-93 f22a1 have the external coil as well.

[andrewdink]

Just a note, I had a nearly identical problem with my car not going over 3k rpm, tried many different things and in the long run it was simply the computer that had gone bad.

[DejectedAngel]

I heard of that situation too, but if im not mistaking you can by jumping the ECU connector and if it stays solid orange that would mean the ECu is bad.

[DejectedAngel]

Does anyone have input on this-

[TypeG]

the only difference in them should be that one has internal coil and on had external coil. later.

[DejectedAngel]

Thanks B,

That does open up a lot more chances on finding a dizzy at the J/Y.
