Dizzy problems

[Mr. Focus]

Hey guys...as some of you know i blew my Dizzy a few weeks back. I have now recieved one as a replacement, but......

the wiring connector pins on my old one is a 6 pin connector. The new dizzy is an 8 pin connector...meaning im short 2 wires. now the decision is...do i re-sell it and wait again for another 1 to turn up, do i sell the one i bought and get mine re-built or can i still fit it somehow

sounds like u got an odb2 dizzy. sell...

wrong - its a 0bd1 dizzy.

I suspect , those 2 extra wires are for the internal (CAS i think?)sensor (which is located on the older crx's exhuast camshaft).

[ECU-MAN]

yeah you got a OBDI civic ZC dizzy, with inbuilt CYP sensor

you need a OBD 0 dizzy from another GenII

[Weq]

i think i proved how little i know about dizzys. my main point was u got the wrong dizzy and it cant be used, lol :)

[Mr. Focus]

crap! dammit! cheers guys

[bennjamin]

ive seen those 2 wires spliced and run to the CYP on the exhuast side...correct me if wrong but it shoudl work all the same ?

[Mr. Focus]

i'll give it a go, but im not too wise in the way of engine electronics :S

[ECU-MAN]

no reson why it wouldnt work.

but you must get the wiring right

[Mr. Focus]

and what is a CYP sensor.....what does it look like? maybe i should get an auto eleccy round

[ECU-MAN]

the CYP is the other sensor next to the Dizzy. its driven from teh exhaust camshaft.

with your dizzy its built into the dizzy, you have to find the wires that come out of the dizzy for the CYP.

[Mr. Focus]

hmmm...ok. cheers for your help ECU-MAN. i'll let ya know how i go
