Code 4-
CKP Sensor (Crankshaft Position Sensor)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

But that may not be why it won't go over 3k.
I had the same problem. It turned out to be just a loose pin in the distributor connector.
Make sure of all the connections.

Throw on a spare known to be good dizzy and see if that's the problem. Code 4 usually happens when the CKP sensor dies and it's inside the dizzy, so a quick 3 bolts and you can solve the problem. Don't forget to clear the code before you get her running. Just pull the positive battery terminal for 10 seconds.
