Car Wants To Start But Shows Distributor Error

[EGAJohn]

So I have my Integra track car that rarely gets driven besides around the block and at the track. Yesterday I decided to take it out to get the fluids pumping after sitting for weeks. The car ran amazing and when i stopped at a light the car died. The car sounded like it wanted to start back up but as soon as it hits 1k rpm the car dies as if the ECU is not allowing it to run. I checked fuel pressure quickly by pulling the return line and its flowing like a garden hose. All plugs get spark when cranking so I'm not sure what the issue is. I noticed in the datalog the "Dist Error" sensor showed ON. I have a spare distributor I swapped on today and nothing changed. I am confused as I have never seen this "Dist Error" sensor previously and I feel like it may be connected with my issue. No DTCs are reported. See the attached datalog.

I'm going to guess that it's a bad MAP sensor. It's showing full vacuum with the engine not running or just being turned over with the starter.

That was it! I don't know how we missed that lol. Good eye!

Good deal. I went through this a few months ago...it was driving me crazy. I spent about 5 hours troubleshooting, swapping all kinds of parts and the answer was staring me in the face in my datalogs, but I was overlooking it.
