Angry I could really use some help

Hey guys , i know i'm new at this site , but i heard u guys have helped alot of people hehe

So here my problem , i was out driving my 94 civic lastnight its got a d16z6 vtec shoc in it , Its been running great then yeasterday as i was coming home i notice my engine light came on and it splits and sparrers if i try to go pass 3500 rpms .

It starts fine no miss fires , but once i hit 3500 rpms it does that , Now i've changed the ignition module control , the rotor (cap looked fine) spark plugs, I hear the fuel pump kick on everytime, checked all my fluids , idles great.

This has got me confuse of what this might be , i was thinking fuel relay or fuel filter??? would it do that if it was that?

It does has a MSD COIL in it as well but dunno when the guy who had it put it in , it looks fairly new and i'm getting spark with no missfire so i figure thats not it.

Any guidance would be helpful guys , please help !

Pull the CEL trouble code from the ECU as described at the CEL link in my signature.

The car will run like crap or not at all when the crank sensor is bad. Replacing the distributor housing should fix the problem.

No, you need to replace the distributor housing, which contains all three distributor sensors.

Yes, or just pick up a whole distributor.
