Sometimes, my 94 dx coupe f22b1 doesnt stay on. Ever since I've had the car, she hesitated to crank but always cranked and stayed on, today however, she cranks fine without hesitation but shuts off as soon as the CEL turns on (always used to be on but always ran perfect, only problem was that I could not go passed 4k). I will include a link to a video for the problem and the codes that the ecu throws.

CEL CODES IN ORDER
9
12
15
20
21
41
here is a link to the video of the start up and how it turns off, also towards the end is the CEL.

Thanks in advance, its greatly appreciated

 

Code 9 No.1 cylinder position sensor
Code 12 Exhaust recirculation system
Code 15 Ignition output signal
Code 20 Electric load detector
Code 21 V-TEC control solenoid
Code 41 Heated oxygen sensor heater

Did the car have any codes before this started happening?

Seems like the code 9 or code 15 is the most likely cause of your problems.

 

I pulled a code list for an eg civic, hope there the same codes. This is what I got.

9 - cylinder sensor
12 - EGR valve
15 - ignition output signal
20 - ELD (WTF is this)
21 - vtec solenoid valve
41 - 02 sensor HEATER

 

It happened before about 3 times but the problem corrected itself within an hour of me first trying to crank it. Now its just taking forever so I think something def. Went out.

 

No, only 2, I fixed them, idle air control valve and vss. Which aren't coming up now.

 

Agree w/ L2R on likely problem areas.

Are you able to use a Volt-Ohm-Meter to perform some basic diagnostics or prefer the "replace parts unitl fixed" approach?

good luck

 

I went ahead and tested the harness, everything checks out, ill replace the dizzy tomorrow.....

I did however come across some unusual finds





this oily stuff wasn't here last week when I checked everything after getting the codes and as you can see, there's no oil or even oil residue on any of Tue surrounding areas, these are connectors that are nest to the fuse box and cruise control.

Is this a discharge of some sort?

I cleaned it with an electrical cleaner from AutoZone, let it dry for about an hour and when I checked again, the oil was there again,just as much as before cleaning it.

I have no idea where it came from. Or how it came back after cleaning it the first time.

 

I also added the video of the start up and codes to the first original post

 

That's dielectric grease from the factory and it got hot. There's way too much current running through one or more of the lines in that connector. Which connector is this? Can you take a pic from farther away?

I'm at work right now, ill upload a pic and hopefully its clear enough .
