I purchased a Hondata ECU for my 98 integra gsr. So I am using an OBD1 ecu with a conversion harness. My problem is that I unpredictably get cel 4 codes. Just a reminder, cel 4 is for the crankshaft angle position sensor in the distributor. This has occured with 2 different brand new distributors. I've heard that you need to use a distributor that matches the OBD version of your ECU. Since I'm using an OBD2 distributor is this going to be a problem. I never heard anything about having to swap my distributor when I bought the Hondata ECU.
So if I need an OBD1 distributor is there some sort of conversion harness for the distributor or am I going to have to splice wires.
Do I need an OBD1 distributor with my OBD2->OBD1 conversi

I just installed my hondata as well on an obd0 crx b16 swap, I also upgraded to obd1 when I did the install. since the dizzy needed to be replaced as part of the upgrade I used a 00' gsr dizzy (obd2). the first time I installed the dizzy I got a code 4, so I checked the dizzy. the haynes manual will tell you which pins for your car, but basically you use an ohm meter across 2 pins to see what it ohms out to, should be 350-700 ohms. then you do another 2 pins, basically 3 pairs in all. if all that checks out plug it back in. mine checked fine and when I plugged it back in and checked for codes the 4 was gone. so it was likely a bad connection. I would double check for solid and clean connections.
