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?

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.
