Those sensors are in the distributor. You might want to check and clean the electrical connection that leads to the distributor and inspect the wiring.

Also remove the distributor cap and see if there is any oil in there (there shouldn't be).

There are also some resistance tests that you can do on each sensor. The 94 shop manual can be downloaded from the online manuals link in the DIY section. The 94 has three sensors in the distributor, while the 96 has two. Also the pins on the ECU are different, because the 96 accord was the first obd2 accord.

There is no oil in the distributor housing. I have the shop manual to my car and i the cyp sensor should be at 880 ohms i really need to know what pins at the ecm go to these sensors so i can check the wiring for good continuity. my manual doesnt show my models ecm pin number.

Did you ever fix this problem? I am currently experiencing the exact same thing. It's been awhile, I know. Just hoping for any help

It's annoying when we never hear the final outcome.

So... what year car do YOU have? What engine, transmission?

Take a good look at the wiring plugs at the distributor. Also the CKP/TDC sensor at the crankshaft FOR CERTAIN YEARS. Those sensors move around over the different generations of cars, so we always need to know what you have.
