Default cel question that really needs an answer... please read :-(

93 civic cx w/d16y8 with obd2 dizzy and injectors rewired and p28

yesterday she was throwing code 9-i had 2 wires mixed up on the dizzy and rewired. code 9 went away but code 4 surfaced(crank pos). any ideas? sensor not plugged in or bad dizzy?? dizzy came out of working car but was dropped lightly in between swap process.. but the car did the same **** with the cx dizzy.. so maybe the problem is outside the dizzy??

also, when the cel light comes on when being jumped-it will flash long once then nothing-then flash again long-then it throws the code 4-then repeats the long-nothing-long **** again-is this code zero or just restarting the sequence?? i am really tired of this-my ef hb with a b16 was soooo much smoother than this.. HELP

just went out and tried a whole bunch of stuff. i swappe dout the iacv with a newer one and checked all vacuum and connections. i found my pcv was not hooked up in the back of the block. but from the original 5 codes it is now throwing only 1(o2) and 22(vtec) but they are wired up correctly. any ideas?? car still idles the same(all over the place) and is driving me nuts. all of a sudden it is throwing me the vtec code-it's been throwing me the o2 code. don't know why gonna calm the nerves

A single long flash indicates a code 10 (coolant temperature sensor).

4 real!!!!! so not o2?? that explains the plug by the tranny under my dizzy that wasn't plugged! where can i find the coolant temp sensor? and could i have plugged in something else in place of the coolant temp sensor? thanks alot that changes everything. but would that make it run so rough? my car still wont go past 3k rpm...

On my 1992 D15Z1, 1 is right under the dizzy in the head and the other is on the coolant elbow that is directly behind the 1st sensor (looking at the front of the car) Both have same looking connectors. Should be similar for other engines... (H22 is the same)

well i just changed the coolant temp sensor and checked the vtec wiring and cleared the ecu as i was doing all this several times. i also found where my missing speed sensor plug was tucked away at. my speedo no longer moves(so at least i know my dizzy wiring is ok) but it is still throwing codes 10 and 22.. car still idles like **** but my friend decided to drive it. it actually drives but he says the car feels like it is holding back. he says in first gear it is a little stubborn but once it is in second it moves better but it is still holdong back-so apparently the car does rev past 3-4k rpm!! but what is the problem?? ....
my friend who is a mechanic and has been helping me out still hasn't measured the dizzy's resistance because the book i have(chilton;'s and haynes) only show the primary resistance and secondary only. nothing else inside the dizzy. can someone post this( the other things to check and their resistance?) thanks for listening..

vtec was fixed too, one bad connection.
