Installed new distributor but still can't go pass 3000 RPM it sounds like it's redlining.... could it be the ECU? Got different ECU from older model and it was a manual... mine is an automatic... it wouldn't let me shift out of park... but RPM went higher....

both ECU's blink 4 times...
should I get a new one? or is something else wrong

what exact ecu did you use ? the manual should still work on the auto. cause my friend has a b16 but the shop only had an auto p30 so he stuck that on there and it worked good. but then there was this other guy who had a auto b16 but he had a manual p30, so my friend and this guy swapped ecus. point is, the manual p30 worked on the auto b16. idk i think it should work.

I think it was because it was also a different year.... but the point is that it's limiting my RPM somehow... so the top speed I can get to is 60 with my original and 80 with the older ECU.... is my ECU busted? or is it something else?

both ECU gives me code 4

Your ecu is throwing a major code and therefore going into "protect" or limp mode. Code 4 is the crank angle sensor. You are going to need to make sure it is plugged in and not defective. A new ecu is not going to solve your problem. The CKP sensor is located inside the distributor. You need to get a manual to troubleshoot the problem. I recommend the helms manual www.helminc.com

but if it's inside the distributor then that must mean that the one autozone gave me is defective? cuz I just got a new one for 300 bucks
hmm I'll check it out....
