Default Still getting a code 8

Ok so I have been getting a code 8 for a very long time now. Read: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=631226 for the story. So I have checked the tdc wires. Nothing wrong with them. I pulled all distributor wires through the firewall and there is no problem with them (visually- havent done a voltage drop test yet , mainly cause i dont know how). The wire in B2 (brown wire black stripe) is an ecu ground and grounds out the shielded portion of the distributor wires. When i wiggle this wire around my cel seems to come on. So i straight grounded that wire. It seemed to work. Went out a few times. NO cel's. AWESOME! Go to put my dash back in and it is doing it again. Start car and immediately CEL. DAMNIT. Chad was telling me to change out spark plugs. Done and still doing it. It is misfiring like a bitch and pops and doesnt hardly want to move. ARGH DAMNIT! Anone have any problem.


Oh yeah dont know if its in the other post but i have done the following:\
6 distributors
4 ecus
2 wiring harnesses
and 2 engines.

If it's throwing that code, it would have to be a circuit or defective sensor. Have you checked the sensor?
