97 honda civic code 1381 cylinder position sensor

Hi,

My 97 civic just started showing an error code 1381 (P1381--Cylinder Position Sensor Intermittent Interruption). My understanding is that if it is a problem with the individual sensors, the distributor has to be replaced - because they don't sell the individual sensors.

Last July the distributor was replaced.

If there is a problem with loose wiring or connectors, what would be the best places to check?

Thanks

Remove the distributor cap and try crimping the female connectors with a pair of pliers. If the problem persists, install a new genuine Honda distributor housing. There have been many problems with new aftermarket distributors for Hondas on this site.
