Default 1992 Civic Si fuel and/or ignition issue

Having trouble with the vehicle, the engine bogs down if the accelerator is given too much input and the vehicle is difficult to start sometimes.

Vehicle has a new distributor the fuel pump primes and is easily heard, the main relay has been replaced in the last 60 days.

I get an error code 43 - fuel system supply

What do you think?

Edit: I can tap the accelerator repetatively and get the rpms above 3000 and the car runs without a hiccup up to redline, so long as I keep the rpms up the engine runs strong, if it get down below 3000 rpms it bogs if the throttle is given any input.

Edit II: a friend will be coming to trouble shoot the fuel system with gauges Thursday morning.

Edit III: Forgot to mention that a seafoam treatment was done today after vehicle started to give trouble

Check the mechanical timing. The timing belt may have jumped a tooth.

The car has been running great for the last 6 months, don't think the distributor is misaligned.
