Pull the Hazard fuse in the main fuse box for 10 seconds, some people may say longer.. whatever works for you.

They are known for having crappy Dizzy. I would buy a new/reman one and call it a day "Get a warrenty"

"new" or "re-built" suck..unless they are OEM, in my useless opinion use the "PEV" (looks like Peavy guitar amp lettering) them parts are OEM, cause I tried 3 dizzys, one old and two rebuilt, none worked, then I switched out the ICM from the old one, put it on the new one...and what do ya know the car stopped stalling every 10-20min of drivin

I forget what code 4 is, but code 8 is TDC...and I still get that code w/ my DOHC ZC...so I'd prob investigate code 4 a little further

A cheaper route would be to replace the internal parts of the Dist, like the igniter, coil, cap/rotor might have some luck doing that and save some $$
