#227687 I've recently had a run in with a thief. He has a LS swap with a GSR tranny. He's had a CEL for his dizzy for months now, and just coincidentally, once he took my car for a joyride around the county, a CEL pops up on my dash for code 9. Never had the problem before. how can I tell if I have an OBD1 dizzy in my car as opposed to the OBDII from my JDM Type-R swap. We wired the OBDII one in.

#227704 i think the Vtec dizzys on those sit a different way vs a non vtec dizzy sits.

for the obd2 (the type R and B16 are the same dizzy)

look at the plugs and any markings.

code 9 = cylinder sensor. how did you get that?

oh and OBD1 dizzy have Crank position sensor built in the dizzy as OBD2 has them on the oil pump. could look at it like that.

#227717 Turns out he didn't swap the Dizzys. Mine has one clip coming from it, branching into two, while the LS one should have two plugs, that, and he would have to modify his harness to use it. I didn't see any signs of tampering.

long story. My axle keeps popping out, and he's the only one I know with the tools and the free time to do it while I'm at work. It popped out, and while I was at work, he came up and asked for my keys to fix the car. He said he jimmied his way into the car, but the steering wheel locked up when he tried to roll it onto a flat spot. He didn't even tell me he was going to fix it, he just popped up. I thought he was just being friendly, since he's a mutual friend of a good honda buddy of mine. He fixed it and brought it to me after work. After wards, he just asked for a few bucks for gas and tranny oil. Later when I'm eating dinner with my girlfriend, he blows up my phone saying I was a tool for not paying him for the work he did, and he started guilt tripping me. Over the next few days, he keeps blowing up my phone trying to hustle me for money. I offer to pay him, but I told him I was short on funds, and asked him what I owed him. He would never tell me how much to pay him, so I didn't make an offer. YOU tell ME what I owe you, don't let me decide... Anyways, at the end of the week, he shows up at work again, subs blaring, buddy club pro spec2 exhaust reving obnoxiously. My foreman walks out and sees him trying to get into my car, he tries to get me, and I told him I didn't want anything to do with him. When my foreman, and the owner of the machine shop told him to scram, he starts threatening to beat their asses, revs for a few seconds, and starts peeling out everywhere. I get a call at work from a sheriff a few hours later saying my car was involved in criminal trespassing, and was responsible for running over the owner of the property's dog. This was on the day he fixed my axle. Right before he picked me up from work. Almost thirty-five miles away from where I work.
