1996 Honda Civic with a 1.6 non V tec engine. I am getting some poor performance and surging while driving. I stop at the parts store and had them scan for codes. I knew that the front O2 sensor is goofy and have order a new one. The dtc that are getting is for a crankshaft position sensor. We had a small flood last Friday and the car was in water up to about halfway to the wheels. I replaced the distributor a few years ago and it’s still under warranty. I thought that the crankshaft position sensor was in the distributor. I know there is a sensor next to the crankshaft pulley. Where should I look next?

Hello 🙂
The ckp sensor is in the distributor. The one With crankshaft pulley is CKF (crankshaft speed fluctuation) sensor.
What code was it, and have you delete code and see if it comes back?It was the ckp code. I do remember that but do not remember the dtc. Sorry. I was too busy arguing with the people at autozone about the warranty of the distributor. I have to buy it because they do not have one in stock. They have to order the part. It cost 222.00 dollars for the part. Bastards. My scan tool got district in the flood or I would do it myself
Ok I followed the flow chart for testing the ckp in the distributor and all the test points are 357 to 400 ohms and does not test for a short. No continuity. I need to check and make sure there is no open or short in the harness portion, but I suspect the ecm might be damaged due to the flooding. I guess it’s time to go to the pick and pull and get another ecm. My question is. Will any old ecm from another civic with the same engine and so forth work? Between the years 1996-2001.
Also do you have a flow chart to diagnose a ckf sensor? Thanks for the help. I might be getting a big job promotion in a few weeks and will be making more money and I need to make this car last just a little bit longer.
Ok went to the salvage yard and bought a ecm and installed it onto the car. Drove 27 miles and it seems to be working ok. I did notice corrosion pn on group of ecm terminals so that might have been the problem.
