Default code 4 and limp mode after mpfi

Hey i just did a mpfi swap on my ef hatch.
Im now throwing a code 4 (Crank position sensor) and my cars in limp mode.

I triple checked the wiring for the distributor and i know its correct.
Is there any other reason I could be throwing this code?
Could it be the wrong or broken dizzy? Wuts the distributor code for d16a6?

Could it be a bad ecu? Thanks in advance for everyones help.

If your sure everything is wired correctly, sounds like you need a new dizzy, crank sensor is non replacable part inside the distributor.

thats what I think the problem may be but i just wanted to check to see if there may be something else that could cause the issue before I buy a new dizzy. I wish i had a known good dizzy that i could try out. Thanks for your help

Does anyone know what code for the dizzy u use for mpfi?
