its a sensor in your distributor and unfortunately its not fixable so you need a new distributor.

Most codes clear themselves after several driving cycles. The CEL goes out but the code remains stored in memory.

You can just replace the housing and keep the dizzy guts. Just swap them over.
You should be able to find a housing somewhere.
