There are 4 marks on the crank pulley. When standing on the driver side of the car looking down on the pulley, the mark farthest to the right is the mark for TDC (Top Dead Center). The three marks on the left are for the spark timing. Of these three the mark in the center should align with the arrows/triangles on the timing belt cover when the engine is running and a timing light is shining on the crank pulley. The outer two marks represent Honda's tolerances for the ignition timing. As you look at the cam pulley the correct mark is at 7 o'clock with the two other marks at 3 & 9 o'clock positions. make sure you have correc timing, honda have "O" tolerance when it come to piston and the valves meets. or stop by any auto part store they should have Hane's auto repair manuel for 20.00 buck, worth all the money with proper instruction including picture, great investment to have for the future repair. spend little money to make sure you do the right job. good luck!!

Code error P1361 Honda CIvic LX 2002 -- What it really means? Appear Check engine light intermitent. In my case after Timing belt, water pump, tensor, oil seals and spark replacement. Car lose power and...

P1361 TDC Sensor Intermittent Interruption (I got this from Engine-Light-Help.com)
TDC should mean Top Dead Center.
It is the sensor that tells the computer the #1 cylinder piston is at the very top. And therefore, fires the spark plug.

Since the maintenance done above, I believe the the timing marks for the timing belt is not lined up properly. Being off by one tooth will cause this problem.

How to check a timing belt on a 2002 honda odyssey.

Belts are replaced by mileage, why do you need to check it? Her is how you check to make surer belt is installed correctly:
Pull the spark plugs and feel the press in #1 cylinder, when you feel the piston pushing air out stop and hand rotate the engine to TDC timing mark on the crankshaft pulley, then check to make sure the camshaft is timed correctly by seeing if the cam pulley notch or index mark is lined up to the cylinder head index mark, since the location of these marks vary fom year to year, refer to a repair manual, your public library is a good source for a a manual.
