need help once more
after getting a tune up yesterday i drove the max today. in the morning there was no services engine soon light, but once i left work today bam the services engine soon light came on.
does anyone know what code 1320 mean?
i looked it up it say camshaft position sensor
what is it
the guy at auto zone told me the code and he say that code i have go back to the dealership to get it fixed. it was somethign wrong with my ignition system shurgs

0201
Diagnostic Trouble Code 0201 indicates a problem with the ignition coil and power transistor. The ignition signal from the Engine Control Module is sent to and amplified by the power transistor. The power transistor turns on and off the ignition coil primary circuit. This on-off operation induces the proper high voltage in the coil secondary circuit.
The malfunction is detected when the ignition signal in the primary circuit is not entered during engine cranking or running.
The items to check include
- Harness or connectors (the ignition primary circuit is open or shorted.)
- Power transistor unit built into ignition coil
- Condenser
- Crankshaft Position Sensor (REF)
- Crankshaft Position Sensor (REF) circuit
A misfire on any individual cylinder should set a code, and a problem with the CPS should also set a code.
I would have expected to see DTC 0201 along with one of the following DTCs.
0407 - Crankshaft Position Sensor (REF)
0608 - Cylinder 1 misfire
0607 - Cylinder 2 misfire
0606 - Cylinder 3 misfire
0605 - Cylinder 4 misfire
0604 - Cylinder 5 misfire
0603 - Cylinder 6 misfire
You didn't get one of these "companion" DTCs, and that is puzzling. Maybe one of them will show up in the next few days.

the tune up was done by my uncle mechanic. he mention something about the igntion coil on some 99 were being recall by maxima. when he was takin the 6 spark plug out yesterday he was having a lil diffcult in doing so. he also mention that the 6 sparkplug wasnt really firing properly. oh i have ngk plat plugs in there. i dont know ill have him check the ses code for me tommorrow. thanks kevlov. where can i get a haynes manuel?

third link on there and from my sig, most of the codes were defined by Daniel B. Martin, i just found them again and posted it up for everyone to use
