My guess (provided its a good working Dist.) is that you redid the wiring wrong. But yes normally when these codes (CYL, TDC, CKP) come up it means time for a new dist.

I had to get a new distributor on my 2000 civic and it never gave me any codes. Just stopped running on my way home one day. 300 buks down the drain.
