its probably your distributor, check your wiring. i had that code and replaced my distributor and it was gone and my car ran better.

Repinning may have not gone smooth, my buddy had this same problem and swore up and down the wiring was right on his MPFI setup. Ended up being the pins at the ECU, he did not have them in right (upside down) and they did not fire because of this, also threw a code 8 I think but I can't remember to be exact. Just swallow your pride and recheck the wires religously cause it may be that simple (I hope it's not your dizzy though). My friends pin problems were b10 and b12 if I remember right. of course check everything you ran for the conversion good luck
