i have been having this problem for a lil while now. the car will throw a random miss fire code when you are at WOT. if you start from first you can go through first then to second but mid way through second it throws the random miss fire code. it will go into limp mode(can't go past 3K) you turn the car off then turn it back on and you can drive it fine. but once you try to go WOT it will throws it back into limp mode with a CEL. i have basic bolt ons. i have tried a couple of things
1. change the plugs
2. change the ingectors
3. change the coil packs
4. change the fuel pump
i haven't tried the ECU but you can't just take another ecu from a S2k and put it in unless there is a way around it? not sure. any help would be great. i hate not being able to drive the car the way i want too. can't injoy v-tec. thanks guys
oh the car is a 2000 with 89k.

 

did you remove the valve cover and inspect your retainers and valve clearance? I would do that it might be a ticking time bomb.

 

Bad ground wire that's disconnecting when you accelerate fast?

 

what ground wire? and yea i have check the valves. i am thinking it might be the fpr is that a possible. i talked to one of the local techs here he told me that a egr valve could cause a random misfire. is that true? is there anyone in hampton roads area that has a computer that i can try out. also i know that nody will tell you how to bypass the immbloizer but that would help so i can try to see if it is the computer. if someone would pm me. on how to do it or call me and kinda walk me through it.

 

Dunno, I'm just tossing out ideas.

 

thank so i went to the parts store to pull the code again just to make sure it wasn't my friends scan tool it's P1361 manfacirer contrl. ignition system or misfire is that the read out said err this is annonying

 

I thought P1361 was a TDC#1 sensor?

 

i just check and that is what is what it is saying. where is the TDC sensor located at?

 

DTC P1361: CMP (TDC) Sensor A Circuit Intermittent Interruption ('00-03 models)
it's the one on the driver side. ohm that sensor is it's not 1,850-2,450 ohm. replaced sensor

 

Or you have a bad connection to the sensor.
