I don't know what to tell you then..Because that sensor is inside the distributor,and what happens 99% of time is, the distributor bearing starts going and heats up all the sensors inside,causing them to fail,causing the code.

Have you tried re-setting the ecu ?

 

iv read people getting this code with brand new distributors before and they had to replace them.

that happend to one of my friends car and then after replacing the brand new dizzy the code went away

 

I has this problem but it turned out to be a wiring issue......the helms manual shows you how to check if it is bad or not I remember testing for the ohms of impedence across some of the terminals. It is cheaper to check before you buy a dizzy

 

the car starts and then it just kills itself....so more than likely its going to be the distributor, right?

 

Had a similiar problem on my a Dohc zc turned out to be the engine timing the car would warm up alittle then just die
