Does autozone give out bad distributors?
Okay I bought one from them. Reset my ECU. It still says check the Crank Angle Sensor which I understand is inside the Distributor.
Can it be something else?

Third ones a charm
sometime parts are bad even when they are purchased new(example: you could go through 2-3 alternators somtimes to finally get one that puts out enough Amps and Volts instead of one of each.)or you could have an ECU problem...Check ur engine codes.

Man, I learned the hard way a long time ago, do not waist your money on autozone crap!
Go to your local shops (the ones that have been in buisness for as long as you can remember) and find out what parts suppliers they use (all of them will HATE autozone)... And if all else fails go to http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/ for stock honda parts ($430 for a NEW distributor).

I've reset it like 5 times now.. unless I'm doing it wrong... I've tried removing the negative ground from the battery and tried removing the fuse I'm suppose to leave it off for more than 30 seconds right? I've tried longer also... like 2 minutes

hmm so I guess the lifetime warrenty on the dizzy is useless... should I trade it in for a different one? would they refund my money? they made me wait like 3 days too hmm I have a friend who works at the honda dealership down here... maybe I can get a discount hehe I will try removing the hazard fuse for 10 seconds... but isn't removing the battery negative going to put out everything? Is there an online manual anywhere?

Pep Boys said reman Brake Calipers would be $30 and my local place had them for $73 which I got from them. And I can only imagine how shitty the pep boys ones must have been.

Take back the old dist. DEMAND they give you another one. It happens time to time that a bad one comes through. Yes you do get what ya pay for so take it back 3-4 times before ya get a good one. lmao
