Default Check engine light help!

Hey, i have a 94 integra gsr, its boosted...Its been running fine witha tune now for quite some time, i recently added an oil pressure gauge, i took out the stock sending unit and just left it, and replaced its spot with the new one in the gaige kit. SHowrtly after this i got the mant requ. light...I jsut figured it was becaouse my oil sending unit was not it and that i just needed to reset the system. About a week later the check engine light came on, the car seems fine although it has loss of power now.

I want to know if...

1. becouse of the OEM sending unit being out, could that have thru this code to make the check engine light come on??

2. Becouse of this light being on does it make sense to have loss of power?? Maby the system is now running too rich??

HELPP!

get the code out of the computer and we will go from there.

*i would think if it was gonna throw a code because the oil sender wasnt in...it would have done it the first time u tried to start it with the new gauge...*

what i did with my integra i came out of the back of the block with a "T" fitting and on one side i had the oem sender for the light...and the other side my gauge...how ever i am also running a mechanical gauge...

The computer goes into a "limp home" mode. It does run very rich and slow

Figured out the code, its the TDC sensor, where is that located?? it has to do with the dizzy, i took the cap off and cleaned it and checked my conections...light went off (for now) but now at high rpms the tack goes crazy and sticks at points..I think its a bad conection.
