I have a 94 Civic Which sputters at high rpm. Ive changed Dizzy, Plugs cap rotor and fuel filter... The check engine light is on with a abnormal smell coming from engine bay and idk what i chould do next besides take it in...

check the code

Yeah it would have been wise to check the code before replacing the parts.

It takes a couple minutes, you just need a piece of wire and the code list.

Piece of wire to check the code? please go into further detail as I will probably have to take it in...

I think I found the code index and how to check thank you...

I am getting a code 4 Crank position sensor... Which wont allow it above 3500 rpms Ive reset the ECU and replaced the Dizzy i still get the CEL... Could it be the harness or out of timing?

 

[GlassHeadlights]

The engine timing could very well be out. Get a manual, start reading.

foul smell you say? check the coil...

 

[dc4dude]

oh, wait... damn... missed the fact that you replaced the distributor...

Well come to find out that Remanufactured Dizzy's are GARBAGE and the sensor always throws a code in OBD1 so I had to buy a new one, could of gone to a junk yard but i didnt want someone elses problem... Thanks for the input guys...
