98 hx egr.....
Just got a 98 HX for my mother inlaw.....
it has two codes one that says it's the EGR and the other saying it's the piston position sensor....I think I remember this one from my 89 CRX Si a few years back being called a crank position sensor....but are either of these conditions potentially detrimental? Could the make the car crap itself later or will they just knock off a few mpgs..... |
for one vtec wont work with those cel's on
if you have a bad cps then it would effect the cars performance i'd say fix the problems the it shouldn't be a hard fix let us know if you need further instructions or any more help |
yeah, I was reading up on another post about the EGR cleaning and replacement, not very hard there, but with the position sensor, the entire dist. has to be replaced right? I can't just replace the individual sensor?
|
What are the two specific OBDII codes?
Clogged EGR port and passages in the D16Y5 engine of an HX can cause a lot of bad problems. Definitely clean those out. Consider running a Seafoam treatment as well. For a bad distributor sensor, most people just replace the distributor housing. I have read that you can also replace the sensor itself because it is apparently a simple resistor. Before replacing either, however, measure resistance across the two sensor terminals to verify that the sensor is actually bad. Faulty wires or a bad ECU can also throw a distributor sensor code. |
one was 401, the other I can't remember exactly it was 1351 i believe, I know it was 13 something I looked it up it said cylinder position sensor.. I used seafoam on my outboard one time, does this help also with 4 stroke hondas also?

Best not to guess. Jump the service connector to pull the CEL codes again. Click CEL link in my signature.

I have one of those 15 dollar ebay scanners I scanned it it's a 1381
P1381 Cylinder Position (CYP) Sensor Intermittent Interruption P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Insufficient Flow thanks for the hel |
Yep, what I have already said applies to those two codes.
|
seafoam works with alot of things and helps alot just start the car and pull the vacum line off the fuel pressure regulator and leave attached to intake manifold poor a little bit into a samll cup or something and dip the vacum line into the seafoam.... there will be alot of smoke that comes out of the exhaust.
|
with the sea foam, do I use the entire bottle? and does this clean out the EGR passages also, or is this more for other parts of the engine
