Default car just went into safe mode...

so i went for a quick spin around the block and i got a CEL, now there is a little red light in my ecu that is blinking (4 short) would this be a code 4? if so then thats the crank angle sensor, could this be my problem? how much on average is it to replace? thanks in advance guys!

No you need an OBD0 B16a distributor which are tough to find...try http://www.distributorking.com

The DA GSR will not work because it is OBD1...A 90-91 integra will work but you will need to remoe one of the mounting legs for it to fit properly.

after a close examination i discovered that the previous owner only bolted down 2 of the 3 mounts and that it has two wires coming out of the top of it (black with yellow stripe, and blue) could this mean that he used a different dizzy? is it Obd0 or what? thanks for your help guys!
