Default minime swap... no power

I bought a 95 civic with a mini me swap in it and it ran great, 5 spd. It then started to run sluggish just off and on. It started sounding like a Subaru and had no power. Then it just started running sluggish all the time. When it started to do that it wouldn't let me rev past 3600 rpms. I have went through everything I can think of to try and fix it. I have replaced everything I can think of even if I thought it was still good. When I push the gas peddle down it hesitates and is very slow to gain power, and that's in neutral just sitting there. I try to drive it around my neighborhood and it is very slow to gain power but it does fairly good in second to third but still nowhere near the power it had when I first bought it. I can push the gas slightly and it will pick up power but if I press it more you can feel that the power just drops off. I don't know what else to do. I have two computers for it and have switched them out and it runs the same.
New distributor stock
New wires stock
New plugs stock
New fuel filter stock
New injectors stock
Fuel pump is fine, 44 psi disconnected 40 connected
New fuel pressure regulator
New TPS
New O2 sensor
It's spot on time

This is all I can think of right now. If anyone has any input please help me out

Does the check engine light work and is it on? I'm suspecting you have a distributor issue.

Have to pull the dang dash bc evidently the light is out so can't pull codes. Just drove it and it is drivable around town but I took it to the interstate and was doing about 75 in fourth and my power just feel off, went back to sounding like a Subaru and wouldn't let me rev over 3300 rpms.

Fix the light, pull the codes and post. Previous owner probably took out the bulb. Just pull the cluster you don't have to pull the whole dash. Here's a how to on how to get to the bulbs
