engine light code P1382

Here is what I think might be you problem. No signal in the Cylinder Position (CYP) sensor circuit." Which is a sensor inside the distributor housing which tells the the fuel injector computer the position of #1 cylinder. It also could be the main computer, but that is the least likely. The distributor in these cars had huge problems when they got some miles on them.

Remove the cap to see if there is a rust colored dust inside which is telling you the unit is bad.

Please let us know what you find.

so i got luck and found a distributor at my local junk yard for $40 dollars and change it this morning and I still have the same code its a hard code onece its deleted it comes right back dont know what else to do
Thank you for helping me out

Hi gabriel_26,

Since the distributor replacement did not solve the problem, test the wires and sockets for continuity to PCM. If continuity is vailable, the PCM might be faulty.

Test the resistance of the distributor CYP sensor. Should be 800 to 1500 ohms.

Thanks KHLow2008,
so i un plug the connector and i get 23.21 m ohms with my digital multimeters what does this mean ?
whats my next step?
And thank you again

Hi Hi gabriel_26,

The pick up coil has an open circuit and the distributor is bad. Ask for a replacement from the place you bought it. Bring along the ohmmeter and test the circuits before getting it home.

I cant believe it the used distributor I got was bad too. I got a rebuilt one and now it works great! thanks 2Carpros
