Default crankshaft position sensor problem

I have a JDM B16a with a OBD I phareable chipped ecu. My check engine light came on and says that the crankshaft is misaligned and cylinder three is out of line. I did re-search and I found that that motor does not have a crankshaft position sensor and that it could be something with the distributor. Any ideas one what I can do to fix this problem?

Your crank sensor is in the distributor, search and you will learn more.

Check your wiring from the distributor to the ECU, Polarity counts, if they are reversed, you will have a problem.

Thanks is there any way that there could be something wrong inside the distributor it self?
