Default CODE 54... car isn't drivable.. what to do... plz help~

Code 54 is for CKF sensor which tells the engine where Cylinder one is and when to fire right?
well my car starts fine but whenever i throttle more than half car just went dead..
checked the CEL and shows CODE 54
help me plz.. thank you
I think it might have something to do with the CKFM ground.. where do i ground it?

CKP, CYP, & TDC sensors are in the distributor. But CKF is crankshaft FLUCTUATION sensor, it's mounted on the oil pump, where it picks up teeth on the crankshaft timing sprocket.

The CKF sensor doesn't control spark timing, the ECU uses it to detect misfiring. So I don't think a bad CKF sensor would cause the stalling you describe.
