cylinder position sensor code help

[94-civic-coupe]

ok so ive been fixing some issues on a car that ive had for a while and the last thing that seems to be and issue is a cylinder position sensor code. from my understanding it is inside the distributor and cant be replaced without buying a new dizzy. so i searched for a while and saw that just thorwing a dizzy at it dosnt usualy fix the problem anybody els have any experience with it. Or have possible fixes. Also my tac has stopped working and i think that also gets its reading from the dizzy.

I have read up on this b4. The sensor is inside the dizzy but can also be caused by a loose connection or tear in the wires. The blue wire in the dizzy is usually the tach wire. Try another used dizzy and see if it works out.if not,most likely a wiring issue bro

Sucks which blue wire is it i have more then one? Do u happen to have a diagram or schematic i looked on honda tech but couldnt find my particular issue.

The car also runs like shit dosnt wanna idle right and bogs down pretty bad. its a obd1 motor in a obd2 car with a obd2 computer so i did the crank fluctuation sensor trick and dont get a code for the crank sensor which is weird because its now wired into the cylinder position sensor so it must be gettin some kind of signal?

What car is it? its hard to diagnose a problem without knowing details.. I had this issue with a 00 accord

Just get a dizzy or replace it. They can be replaced.

i tore apart the dizzy today but couldnt figure out which sensor inside it was i believe there where like 4.

i also found out it's a dizzy from a ek9 or type r p73 b16bor b18c if that makes a difference

Are the guts and sensors from a d16y8 dizzy the same? they look almost identical if so i can swap out everything inside from a known good dizzy i have and just keep the housing.

so i found a thread on honda tech where a guy swaped everything from his new dizzy into the housing of his old one so i did it. now the car wont start has spark and everything went in no problem all wires looked the same but it wont start.
