Default B18b not running right

okay here it goes...i just bought a 98 civic cx with a b18b swap in it converted to OBD1 and when i bought it it wasnt running at all (didnt start) so i changed the coil and away went my problem. the car started but i got a CEL code #4 (crank angle sensor) and my car would rev limit @ 4000Rpm and the car ran with a missfire. So i go get a used distributor and slap it on and the CEL was still there even after reseting the ECU. I stop messing arround and i buy a brand new distributor, put it on and still the CEL appears, so i decide to try to change my ECU just to rule that problem out and there it was teh CEL never came back. i'm an emissions specialist and i decide to open screen my car to see my readings and i was failing by a mile and you could smell the unburnt fuel. so i change my plugs and still car runs with a missfire. now i'm stuck at this level.

basicaly just need to know where to check for my missfire and why my readings stay so high...by the way my cat is brand new

does it sound like a raw *** subaru with after-market exhaust? and when you give it gas does it still sputter out? until you let off the gas and the nit soumds normal?
