if im thinking right... the cps is in the dizzy... its been a long day so i might have that wrong... but my b16 smokes at high rpms... i dont worry.. its black smoke.. running a lil rich.. no worries... its a vtec car... its going to smoke at high rpms.. some ppl dont notice it... but as for ur cel ... the cylinder pos. sensor should be in the dizzy... and u might need to replace it...

The cyl position sensor is in the distributor, you may need a replacement.

Try a vacuum gauge and compression gauge. With a good shop manual these tools can usually help you figure out if you have valve seal, head gasket, and piston ring problems.
