code 8 tdc I replaced dizzy still no luck?

I have a 2001 ls and i was driving home the other day and the car just died. It would still crank but it wouldnt run so i towed the car home and tried to diagnose the problem. I jumped the wires to read my code and it came up with code 8 which is top dead center sensor. i cheacked all my fuses and went ahead and replaced the whole distributer and added a new cap and rotor. Got all excited and tried to start the car but it still does the same thingsand still throwes code 8. I did just switch my car over to synthetic maybe that has something to do with it(i highly doubt tho). Has anyone else had this happen to them?

it may be the crank sensor down near the crank pulley/timing gear...
