sounds like a bad distributor to me.

The thing is its a new distributor. Could I have gotten a dud? It cranks, it just runs funny.

We didn't change out the cap or the rotor button, could that possibly be something as well?

I replaced the rotor button today and it resolved the 4 and 15 codes but I've still got the 8.
