Well, I had other codes but I managed to get rid of those, but now I'm left with code 9. It all started when I hit a big bump and I don't know if something came loose, but I was having 4 codes, it ended up being a loose connection with the oxygen sensor wires, and I fixed that.
The code 9 is the one I can't get rid of! The car itself runs nicely, boosts fine and doesn't seem to hesitate or stall. The only thing it does is sit there staring me right in the face! It's pissing me off cuz I can't get rid of it! Is there any other way to find out if the dizzy is bad or what else the problem could be?

Okay, well, I took apart my dizzy, and inside, there were a few chunks of the cap that fell out. Anyway, the little screw that holds the rotor on was off and it was under the plastic shroud but came out easily. As I took off the shroud and rotor, there was a little piece that looks like half of a yin yang symbol and on the point or tail of it that spins around, there was a little chip on the tip and this is what makes contact with that magnetic strip. Would this cause me to throw cel 9? All the connections in the dizzy were attached.

bad dizzy can cause code 9, or timing. i think any auto place can test ur dizzy.

Well, got a dizzy from a buddy and I installed that. Still throwing a code 9! My car does seem a bit faster now however! haha It is and has been eating more gas than usual ever since I got that code 9! What other things could it be? Someone suggested the wiring, but what part of the wiring would throw a cel? What else would cause a code 9?
