I guess I will be pulling the distributor tomorrow and try to set it right. Showing a crank position sensor code
It's probably showing the cam position code.
Timing is determined by the crank position sensor. The distributor position won't matter regarding timing... but it will affect the cam position sensor and the resulting code.
Follow these instructions (attached) and you can get the code to clear (at least, it did for me). But,
Reportedly one needs a scan tool to dial the cam position sensor (distributor position) in perfectly. I've actually never done that and I've run the truck as-is for years, BUT I have a plan to do it soon.
(edit) I seem to remember someone saying that the cam position sensor was used to determine the sequential firing of the injectors. Too, when the cam position was unknown / incorrect (code set) the injectors fired in batch mode. Presumably if the cam position is a bit off the code can be reset but the injector timing may be a bit off as well, due to the error in the cam reference.
