Default B16A swap problems

hey, heres the deal. I have a 91 civic standard 4spd hb. I installed a B16A a couple of weeks ago, and everything is bolted up and looking good. I did some of the wiring myself. I wired the fuel injections, V-tec, Oil pres, and Knock sensor up. Now I drive the car and it hardly goes above 2000 RPM then it falls on it's face and you have to shift or it sounds like it's hitting the rev limiter. It will only go like 50mph in 5th gear. Please someone help me out. I am desperate for help. I cannot afford to take it to a shop and pay out the @ss for work. I have called a couple of shops and they said that is sounds like a bad distributor. What do you guys think about that?

I appreciate any and all help that you guys can provide. thankyou very much.

By crank angle sensor do you mean code 4? Helms calls that the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor.

Code 10 is for the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor.

I've attatched the troubleshooting guides for those codes from my '93 Integra Helms manual, but I can't guarantee that your wiring will be identical.
