I just bought a 99 Accord EX coupe 4 cylinder last week and CEL came on today.
The CEL light shows 9 short blinks meaning P1381 9 Cylinder Position Sensor Intermittent Interruption
or P1382 9 Cylinder Position Sensor No Signal I took it to Autozone and the guy told me it is P1381.
I felt the engine has lost power during pickup under 2000 RPM especially in 4th or 5th gear. The speed hardly increases when I floor it. I know there is generally no power under 2000 RPM but it didn't feel that way when I first bought it. It felt like there is no fuel going to the engine.
The only thing I did after driving the car home was to seafoam it through PCV and put another can of seafoam in gas tank. I don't think seafoam can cause that.
I have searched but there is no info on what is causing it or how to fix it.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
