Measure the fuel pressure with and without the FPR vacuum hose connected and check the ignition timing with a timing gun.

Re: 92 civic running rough

Did you check the ignition timing with a timing gun and the service connector jumped?

For code 1, have you checked the O2 sensor wires (voltage, shorts, continuity)?
