What is your question?
I have p1381 cmp sensor an intermittent interruption code. Car will not go over 3000 rpm’s without jerking. If I clear code by removing negative terminal it will drive fine for maybe 10 miles then check engine light comes on and engine is fairly weak (maybe it had limp mode)? 2000 Honda accord ex 4 cylinder. I have had 2 different shops replace the distributor with genuine honda parts. I have checked alternator diodes and I think they are ok. Any ideas? Many people say changing alternator fixes this.
What makes this problem better or worse?
It’s permanent
How long has your 2000 Honda Accord had this problem?
Months

Hey, my name is Dusty and I'm one of the auto experts with RepairPal's Car Genius team here to help! According to (pun intended) the diagnostic documents, it could be an issue with the alternator, or the distributor housing. I see you've mentioned the distributor has been replaced, but if this was the cap and not the entire assembly the problem may persist. As for the alternator diodes, it's less about them being okay, and more about the interference that they create that can cause the issue.
