Default CEL Code 8: TDC

I have a 99 Civic with a 99 GSR engine converted to OBD-1. The other day the CEL same on, It was code 8: TDC . I had the same code 3 weeks ago. The dizzy was replaced. My friend did some research and found out it could either be a wire under the dizzy cap between 2 screws or the wires for the plug that plugs to the dizzy could be bad. He said I should check the resistance between these to slots on the top of the plug. He said the resistance should be between 300 and 350. Does that sound right? What else could it be?

Did you look in the helms to make sure those resistance numbers are correct, and then tested to see what they are on your car? Come back when you do.

IT was a disconnected wire from the ECU. I am having no problems now.

Which wire color and ECU pin out was it? I am having the same problem and I am going to start looking at it tonight. I checked the helms late last night but figured I would work on that tonight. It only throws the code the first time I start the car in the morning.
