ok I have a 94 integra ls an im having a idle problem with an CEL the light is blinking 9 times fast then 5 times slow… that means 95 right? an if so I don’t know what that code is for. I cant find out the meaning. if its two different codes whats 9 I know its a cyp sensor but I don’t know what that is or where it is the only thing I can figure in crank sensor for code 9. an if its two separate codes the the 5 means 50 I think an I cant fined that either.

There is no code 95, so I am going to assume you have a code 9, and a code 5. 9 is cylinder (I am guessing cylinder position, probably in the distributor housing) and code 5 is the manifold absolute pressure sensor.
I replaced distributor (came with coil an ICM) plugs wires cap and rotor. not much more on code 9 that i can think of other the crank senor but I don’t know how to test an that’s a code 4 anyways. as the idle goes I replaced IACV and adjusted fast idle. coolant seems good doesn’t overheat so not sure but don’t think coolant is problem. if 5 slow is map wouldn’t it flash fast not slow? been watching Eric’s videos an still no luck on any of my problems. trying not to just throw parts at it so im trying this. help me save money, time, and keep me from headaches lol.
A slow flash is equal to 10 and fast flashes are 1

Well we know you have a code 9.lets address what we
know for now.The cyp is in the distributor.ohm the
sensor.reading should be 500-1k ohms.Aftermarket distributors are a known problem and often cause a code 9 on Honda’s. Here is a link to an article I’ve written on this exact topic.
Here is a video on how to read codes. Once you have the code, all you need to do is type it into the search box at the top of this page and the code meaning and any info we have on that code in the database will come up.
the distributor I purchased was a remanufactured one not aftermarket like I originally said don’t know if that makes a difference an I know how to pull codes but I don’t know what that 5 slow means. I promise im not reading the code wrong like y’all probably think its 9 fast 5 slow in that order an it repeats itself. so the cyp is somewhere in distributor like I thought so narrowing/confirming that but what about the 5 slow any clue on that one?
I can confirm what Eric says, there is SOMETHING weird about Honda ignition systems, most likely they have a stronger than usual high voltage and maybe it has a sharper rise time than most others. I would have never beleived that this could be a problem except for a personal experience: I got into trouble a few years back when I changed the plugs on my Integra to some major brand that was US-made. The car stated running poorly and by the end of the week it was backfiring a lot. My excellent if expensive repair shop immediately noticed the shiny new plugs and swapped in a set of Asian ones and the car ran perfectly for another 10 years.
Funny thing is, this was common knowledge, even my 88 yr old aunt-in-law had heard about this at church. Guess I paid a somewhat high price for not going to church.

Remanufactured IS aftermarket. They take a core and put all new aftermarket parts in it. It’s very common for those distributors to set a code 9. I’m not saying that’s whats causing the performance problem but it is likely the reason for your code 9.
