Sometimes when you mix up the plug wires it will throw this code. Verify your timing and make sure you have the correct wires going to the correct plugs. The TDC sensor is in the distributor.

In most cases, either the TDC sensor is open (unlikely, but can happen), or the wires are flipped the wrong way. Fix that first.

Mixing the plug wires will not set that code...
