Ok I'm pretty sure I'm right on this part being my problem. My car just dropped its timing belt a week or so ago and I finally had a few hours to work on my repairs. I found that my Crankshaft postioning sensor had been torn from its original spot and it was hanging by one wire. I guess when my belt broke it hooked onto this sensor. I put the wires back together and let it go from there. Once I finished everything else I started up the car and it sounded like the timing was off but I checked it with a timing gun and it was dead on. My guess is that the sensor is Junk. Does this sensor (when bad) make your car run like its timing is off? Thanks.

 

that sensor times injector pulses.

(someone correct me if im wrong?)

 

the car will not run. it tells the dizzy when to fire.

 

yeah but what I'm thinking is that there is a short somewhere. the car runs (barely) and like I said above the timing is dead on but it doesn't run like it is (at idle).

 

you checked the spark timing not the valve timing. take the upper timing cover off and check the valve timing. if that is dead on than i would say the sensor is your problem.

 

When the car dropped the belt did it bend any valves? Honda motors are interfence engines

 

well...put on the new sensor...turns out my my rings are shot so my block is scuffed up too (anyone want to buy a used ls block to bore out or eagle rods?). anyways I'm planning on doing another rebuilt to my motor and i'm just going back to complete stock.

 

Damn man, you have had some BAAAD luck with this car... Look up, things can only get better! gl with it.
