driving my crx today cruising at apprx 3500rpm
my car started to spit n sputter then stalled and would NOT CRANK BACK UP
removed distributor cap to find out that the set screw backed out
and rotor was not anchored in place, found screw put it all back together
she cranked RIGHT up and immediately CEL came on!! and car will only rev to 4000rpm ((almost like a safety measure)) like when you reach redline and the car will only fire every other time ,best way i can desribe is ((whaaa whaaa whaaa whaaa)) sooo checked ECU im getting 8bleeps ,from what i googled means TDC (Top Dead Center) code .... i removed neg termional for 2-3 mins, now I turn on ign and I get NOOO CEL ... UNTILLLL i try to crank and before motor even fired up CEL light is back on and still only 4000k revs
