code 4 = CPS

i don't understand what you mean by "ran the wires"

But check all connections from and to ecu and CPS

then measure voltage to cps, start the car and measure signal from cps...

Could be bad sensor or connections...

or a backwards wired sensor even. Or Cam timing off.

In most cases CODE 4 is the Crank Angle/Position Sensor-which is buried in the distributor housing and not available by itself. TD-02U distributors are also known to have this specific failure. Look inside the cap and on the modules for reddish bearing dust-that is your clue. If all of the wiring for the car is correct then this is likely the problem. (Need a TD-02U-I have one).

incorrect camshaft timing will also cause code 4 - most likely distributor

right click and save as the pictures , then use ur paint program to zoom.... imagestatin resize them for their site

anyways make sure the B10 and B12 cables are actually on the right spot on the harnes... basically the harness orange to B10 and white to B12..
and C1 and C2 to the engine bay for CYL sensor (not the case)

your code 4 is because your cam angle sensor is bad. the person I work with at my friends shop has a dohc zc in his 4door and it was throwing code 4 all day everyday. So i suggested to check the cam angle sensor. Well I was right it was bad. you need to change the cam angle sensor. Its not that much money and very easy to do. 20 min 30 tops.

Man dont get all worked up act like the member you are, dedicated and experienced......cough cough mature....

Id still go back at your wiring, its easy to mess up the wiring for the distributor since the wires look similiar in color look to make sure you didnt hook the wrong one up due to faded colors.....lol sounds dumb but it happens more then you think.
