Default Last code!!!!!!!!

Alright here it is; I've got one more code to fix and then she'll stop yelling at me to fix her! The code is P0320, "Ignition/Distributor engine speed input circut malfunction; no crank reference signal at PCM (diesel models)

I don't own a diesel! Or is that only refering to the "no crank reference..... PCM" ?

Has anybody else with a gasoline engine had this code thrown?

Yeah just when I thought it was done! But hey, I pulled the distributer cap off when I did the new wires last weekend and it was an sob to get back on. Could I have possibly gotten it on a little crooked or loose or something and that may be the cause. It only threw the code right after I did the wires.

Not DIYer. Thats for sure

This is a crank sensor related code. Unless you are going to try and properly diagnose it try replacing it first.
