I have a 1996 honda accord dx, that I just swapped engines due to my other frying itself. Any who, now the engine that I have only revs up too 3000 rpm, than acts like a rev limiter. Does anyone have a clue what this is, any help welcomed, and here are sum vids too help out.

The code you are getting is a code 4, a problem with the crankshaft position sensor. That sensor is behind the timing belt cover on a 96/97 accord. Make sure the wiring coming out from there is plugged into the main wire harness.

Now if the used engine was from a 94 or 95 accord, it will not have that sensor.

 

Well, It's a pain in the A** to take the freaking belt cover, do I have to take the pulley off to

 

You don't have to remove the cover just yet. You should find the electrical connector that comes from behind the cover. See if it is plugged in.

If you have a volt meter, test the resistance across the pins to the sensor.

 

Well. checked the connection and it was fine, I unplugged and cleaned, so.....Any leads guys?

 

Get a volt meter and test the resistance across the pins to that sensor and post that on here.

I'll have to look in my shop manual to find out the acceptable range.

 

It's Alive! Whoo hoooo, thanks moderator! My car flys now! lol

 

What was the fix?

 

The sensor it self was broken so I just grabbed the old one from my new engine.

 

What are the possibility's of my accord engine making it and still working. My timing belt just snapped! Going about 35 mph and tick tick BOOM! Any inputs.
