I think you mean TDC sensor (Top Dead Center). It is located in the distributor.

CivicVibez2

would that cause the car to redline at about 37 thou rpm's

CivicVibez2

my bad about spellin wasnt payin much attention

That would be more the TPS (throttle position sensor), the TDC would more or less stop the car from running. Check the code again and see if its 7.

CivicVibez2

nope its 8 and the car is still runnin but it redlines at about 37 and takes a while to start

DemonCivic

you should be able to find a cheap used distributor
