91 civic crank angle senor
i recently did a head gasket on this car and replaced the timing belt.
upon successfully starting the car and adjusting the valves, i took it
for a drive.
at idle it runs fine. about 2 minutes into the drive (not sure if this
is time or speed related) the check engine light would go on
simultaneously as the car would lose power - as though a cylinder
stopped firing.
after getting home, i check the ecu. it claims a crank angle sensor
fault. this is located in the distributor, which is only a few months
old, and is unreplaceable according to chiltons.
if i clear the code by pulling the hazard fuse for 10 seconds or so,
the car starts up and runs great. again, it idles fine, take it for a
drive, about 2 minutes later, bam, check engine and power loss.
now, the ecu has been known to be wrong before. any ideas?
thanks so much.

Did you put the 'heat sink' paste on the backside of the components that
need it? Sounds like a heat buildup problem . . .

If somebody failed to put the heat sink paste (same as what's used on
Pentium chips) when they assembled the components inside the ( new /
used / reconditioned????) distributor (which was installed when the
weather was cooler) you might be getting overheating problems / circuit
shutdowns.
Do a google groups search.

Re: 91 civic crank angle senor
yes, the distributor was remanufactured from Napa. i'd assume they
assembled it correctly. i am not so sure i want to take it apart to
find out...
i think i will take off the cap and see what i can see...
