There's your problem, you haven't fixed it yet.

Crank sensor on '96 up Accords is down on the crank, not in the distributor, follow the wire going down to the snout of the engine.

Top Dead Center Sensor is the same as crank sensor? The crank sensor is located behind the crank pulley correct? This all started when i went to go power wash my engine bay (which i have done thousands of times).....not directly getting any of the electrical stuff wet. There was no CEL until after i power washed it, so it would rev up fine and would run great before i power washed it. As soon as i started it up, the CEL light was on throwing the code i mentioned earlier. It started right up but there was water in the distributor so i cleaned that out....
