Check the connection/wire at the ignition module.... Might be the module going out...

DTC 42 is related to the IC Module, but it can be one of the hardest to diagnose. You need to get the sheet from the shop manual that shows you step by step how to proceed with the analysis. If you don't have access to one, I could fax it.
