i was driving my car yesterday and i had the air on high. i was just sitting there and i taped the gas real fast and the car died. so i start it back up and the ses light is on. drive all the way to work turn the car off, turn it back on the light is off. so when i went home i scand it and it had code 36. and i dont understand what the code means. so can anyone help. thanks.

 

Code 36 Distributor ignition system-- Faulty hgh resolution pulse of multiple low resolution pulses detected in ignition system...

 

It's an opti code. May have been just a hiccup or harbinger of ill things to come. It wouldn't hurt to check your opti harness for any corrosion.

 

well the car has a new engine and it only has about 40k on it and the car has 160k so im sure the opti was replaced once. could it have already gone out?

 

Anything is possible with an Opti.... they can fail in a few miles or last 100K miles.

Did you check the connectors in the Opti wiring harness, as Shoebox suggested?
