Default check engine light on.. b16a in crx ... need help!

i have an 88 crx with a b16a.. after starting it idles at 3,000 rpms and the check engine light is sayin code 4 .. map sensor, i replaced it with a good map sensor and still having the same problems... also when i go to accelerate it bogs out and looses any and all power. i really want to get this thing running asap so any help would be great, thanks

Are you sure you have all your vacuum lines run to the proper ports. Are there any cracks in the vacuum lines?

code 4 is not MAP sensor - it is the Crank circuit in the distributor - usually means you need a new distributor, unless it isn't wired up right - if this is a new swap and the code 4 has always been there, try switching the orange and white wires at the distributor and see if that fixes it - otherwise, you probably need a distributor

This is all that i can find, its for the 90 integra with a b18a1, but it might get you closer. My b16 is sitting on my garage floor or else i would take some pics of that.
