Probably throwing crank angle sensor just like i was.. If this is true, that would possibly mean you need a new dizzy, or some wires were mixed up like mine.. Too bad I already purchased a new dizzy

NO! find the problem before you start throwing parts at it.

you might be right but that's not a good way of troubleshooting ****.

He could of got a used dizzy not go buy a 200 dollar one and if not needed sell it but am pretty sure some thing with the dizzy clean the connctions on the cap and rotor. it can cause the car not to runn.

i just took my obd0 dizzy off if you want it.. did you just suddenly get a code? i used to have a few codes but it would only go into limp mode after like a month. i just unplugged the ecu and plugged it all back in everytime and it would be fine until it recognized my codes again
