  1. I'll throw in another vote for the Mazda 3. I have a '13 MS3 and I love it. As for the steering wheel being too far into the dash, it is a tilt/telescoping wheel so you can adjust it however you please. They are fun as hell to drive, and the comfort rocks. I took it to Nashville this fall, and the ride to and from was quite nice.
  2. I'm sorry to say that I have no blackbox feedback to contribute to this thread. I just came here to say that if that happened to me...

     

    ...I might have pooped a little.

     

    Sorry to hear that the dealer is giving you a hard time. Once you get deeper into the investigation, you might want to consider calling higher ranking people if the dealer continues to give you a hard time. They are usually more motivated to assist.

  3. Good thread. I come from an area where having your food delivered is not an option. Since moving to Columbus, I have always tipped 2 bucks flat since I was unsure of what a good tip is supposed to be. I'm definitely going to tip more from now on.
  4. Well, I can (cautiously) rule out #2 since I am the only person who has owned and worked on this car for the past six years. The car is nearly stock except for the suspension, and no repairs have been made to the car within the past two weeks (other than a brake line under the car).

     

    I just ordered a new distributor for it, and I will put that in this weekend. If that doesn't fix it, then I will address the ECU and wiring. I will check the ECU for water evidence before I do anything as a precaution.

     

    Thank you very much Craig, Greg, and Grant. I will report my findings this weekend after I install it.

  5. P1382: No signal in the Cylinder Position (CYP) sensor circuit.

     

    its gonna be 1 of 3 things:

    1. Bad distributor housing sensor

    2. Open wire in the circuit (I would back track any past repairs/upgrades)

    3. ECM

     

    Solid reply. Is any one thing more common than the other?

     

    I just read that replacing the distributor is the only way to fix an internal sensor as Honda apparently does not sell them separate.

  6. Is it 1382 or 1392?

    My resource at work said the same thing, but said that the code essentially means "no signal" from the Cylinder Position sensor. I don't know a lot about Honda's, but I would see if you can find some info on what the resistance should be on the sensor itself, or at least how to test it. If you haven't gotten an answer by tomorrow around 11 A.M when I head into work I'll open up a Haynes manual and see if I can find any specs or info on an accurate way to test it. I'm not sure if a cylinder position sensor is Honda's crankshaft position sensor or what, but I guess it could be possible water got up into the sensor and shorted something out, as far as I can tell those engines only use a Crankshaft/Cylinder Position sensor, but I could be wrong. If it is indeed sending no signal, I'm amazed the car still runs.

     

    It is P1382. The "no signal" is what threw me off as well. It was why I was originally suspect that the moisture is causing the issue. I don't jump to conclusions with cars anymore, though. Since the car has a distributor, I am suspect that it is the pickup failing, but I just don't know these cars quite like I know 4G63s or 13Bs. The cap and rotor are brand new OEM pieces (3 months old).
