Hello all. I have an 02 S2000 completely stock with 70k miles on it. I have not driven it in over a week. Today when I started it up it ran really rough and a blinking cel came on. I immediately shut it down and used the modifry method of jumping the port off to get 8 fast blinks. I watched 4 times to be sure it was the only code. I swapped ignition coils from cyl 1 and 4, no dice. I swapped tdc sensors and no dice. I am thinking of buying a new TDC sensor from Honda tommorow. Anyone have experience with this?

 

Ordered some spark plugs and a tdc sensor today. OEM of course.

 

Scan the car for the proper code.

Blink codes are limited access.

TDC sensor will likely not help.

 

Listen to Billman.

Stop throwing $$$ away and wasting time. Get a scanner and do it right.

 

X3. Scanners are as cheap as 20$ and one of the best tools you can buy for modern cars.

 

Using a friends scan gauge 2 tomorrow. Will report back.

 

Finally scanned it.

P0301 - cylinder 1 misfire detected

 

Update, moved the the #1 coil pack to #4 and got p0304. Looking like a bad coil pack. I need to invest in a obd2 scanner...

 

Now you are on the right track.
