Default Cuts Out at 3500

I have a '94 Si Hatch. Was getting an intermittant bogging problem at 3500 but not setting any codes. Replaced cap, plugs, wires and rotor and problem went away for about a week.... or at least I thought it had.

Now the car runs fine until it warms up. At high rpm's everything it fine but if I let it idle for any time at all I get a CEL with code 4 (Crank position Sensor) and the cutting out at 3500 returns. I can quickly turn the key on and off while still rolling and the car runs fine until it drops down to idle then the bogging and the CEL starts again. This trouble is repeatable and now happens every time the car is warm.

This does not happen when the car is cold.... it only happens after warming up.

I realize I probably need to replace the distributor to fix the Crank Sensor issue. I just wondered if there are any other sensors or conditions that would contribute to the code 4. Anyone have experience with DistributorKing? They seem to have a decent price on the whole dizzy.

Thanks

Get a new distributor and the car should be fine. Right now your in limp mode.

Thanks Luserkid, appreciate the response

Just looking for some reassurance that I'm headed in the right direction....I hate just buying parts and hoping... was looking for a cheap fix...

Not new to wrenching... just Hondas.

New distrubutor on its way....

Will search up on timing.... Any tips for the noob?
