code 36 Distributor ignition system (faulty high resolution pulse or extra low resolution pulse detected) what does this mean

 

It means the optical sensor had a hiccup. It could mean it is about to go south or just a freak thing. If your rotor is bad, you will get no spark out of the opti, even if there is spark going in by the coil wire. The rotor or cap won't throw any codes in an OBD-I equipped car. OBD-II (96-97) may pick up some spark trouble as misfires while the opti is still somewhat working.
