The previous owner replaced the distributor about a year and a half ago, 30k miles later i’m throwin code 8. So yesterday I bought a new OEM honda distributor ($380) and installed it.
Still have check engine light and code 8 (TDC sensor).
It takes 7 cranks to turn it over and then it runs like a champ.
I searched threads, and the code 8 responses all seem to be “replace distributor”.
Please help!
Thank You.
trace the wires and see if theres any breaks or anything
Actually, i can only see about 16" of wire before it joins all the rest of the wires leading into the fire wall, which is all taped/plastic up, cant see anything!
Try reseting your ECU.
Did that, no go!
I’m lost!! :shrug:
Could it be maybe my timing is off some how? Can that cause a TDC sensor to come on?
The weird thing is once my car turns over after seven cranks, it runs fine !
When the problem first started happining, every so often when i would start my car it would have a little trouble and the check engine light would come on. So i would drive a little bit, then restart it and it would be fine(no light). But when the check engine light would stay on i noticed the car idled and drove much better then when it wasn’t. :think:
