97 CRV check engine light stays on. Dealer turned it off, and when it went back on the next day, dealer said a sensor within distributor is blown, needing distributor replacement to the tune of +$600. Do I need to replace it, or just put black tape over the light on the dash? If I do replace it, will an aftermarket distributor work?
Thanks
Dave

Try checking your oxygen sensor and your PCV valve befor spending a bunch of unecessary $ MD.

Dave;
>>or just put black tape over the light on the dash<< You can't be serious?  If something else goes wrong, you won't know, because the CEL is already illuminated, and you've covered it with tape. Just one of the joys of buying an import. Expensive to fix.
An aftermarket distributor will work if you are certain that is the problem. Don't buy the 'cheapest' one you can get. Buy a quality reman. or new, if available. Part Number: 31-17421 Manufacturer: CARQUEST/CARDONE INDUSTRIES

Don't know, it was a case of the dealer telling me 'the sensor's blown', maybe I should have asked more.

Code was P1362. Dealer said this was 'TDC sensor'. Any idea what this means?

I'm watching and waiting for better also: To me acronyms with be the death of mankind ( ) but "TDC" has historically meant Top Dead Center. That said with not more tech info from me suggests a crank sensor or perhaps cam sensor if applicable

Someone else tells me it is the TDC Sensor, which is camshaft sensor, located under the camshaft pulley under the top belt cover, and the pins may be bent where it is plugged in. What do you think? Would this be typical on a distributor that has been untouched for 12 years?
Thanks
Dave

Short of more help - I suggest a more targeted code reading - one that specifies the item that sets it off,

Another repair shop did the diagnostic - the distributor is the problem. So, unfortunately, it's a $550 repair job.

Sadly, I must admit that the station looks very familiar. With the bulk oil (clear, glass, bottles) for $0.25 qt on the pump island. The bottles had chrome, or stainless, spouts attached. I've got a couple of similar pics, but can't get them to upload, due to the size limit. Can we get that fixed, btw?

Pics: If you sent me a pic - I could try to resize it and send it back to you OR post it here and you can just copy and paste it. This machine can have attitudes with pic I've taken but behaves with others?? Go figure that one out??
If you can view your own pic - right click on it and look for
properties as a choice and it tells the size and MAY give you options to shrink it. I gotta a couple to work and then two days go by and I forget what I did that worked! Arggh.
As said - I no geek with this stuff. I did find out that pics can be stored by the zillions without a separate disc but they aren't real pics till you make them pics. It was explained to me that they are just "mirror" images that only you might see and only on that one puter till you alter it. That way they don't take up disc space untill you tell it to.
Keep trying - we'll figure it out,
