Icon2 B16a Bad distributor??

Ok so i have a jdm b16a in my da. When it is cold (like in the morning) it bogs like CRAZY. Once its warmed up its fine. When im driving if i give it a bit of gas it will kick a little. Also, i am throwing code 9.

What do you think? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Code 9 is cylinder position sensor according to the code list here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/acura-integra-6/ecu-abs-codes-here-978933/

Im going to take it off this afternoon and see if the wiring/sensors are fried. I think the rotor is bad too. Makes a nasty noise when i start it cold. When its warm its nice to drive

Don't just throw money at it hoping that it will fix it. Try to actually diagnose the problem. Try replacing the part that's actually throwing the code.
