Default will I need a re-tune??

okay, so the other day my car started throwing a code 9 which is for cylinder position sensor. I was going to get a new distributor and put it on but I wasn't sure if I had to like but it on a certain way because I just had it tuned. It's a stock block b16 turbo.

You will need to sync your distributor timing to set it where it was when the car was tuned on the old distributor.
Talk to your tuner.

Yes, however you will need to confirm with your tuner what he set your base timing at.

okay. Has anyone had this code 9 before? Am I good to drive with it? It runs perfectly fine with no misfires or anything, just the light on
