Ok.

I have done a lot of research and troubleshooting and now I am at a loss.

Car would not start, purchased a new distributor and now it cranks but CODE 4, cant rev past 3k.

On one test, the car did start fine and allowed me to go past 3 k but once I turned the car off it went back to having code 4.
I have no idea what to do. Triple checked my wires. Tested continuity.

The only thing I can think of is a bad ecu or the pins are loose and I will need to go to a junkyard to cut the B ecu harness and attach that to my current harness.

Any other suggestions?

Also was considering the ignition timing being off but would that cause a code 4?

thanks

 

You haven't given us anything to really go off of...

What OBD?
What ECU?
What Distributor?
What Engine?
Was the vehicle originally MPFI or is this a conversion?

Blah blah blah... To help you we need more information.

Also, cranking does not equal starting/running.
