Help with my 2K error code

I took my car to get teh code read at autozone because my check engine light was on and it gave me the following code

P1320

It was not in their system. THis occoured after i put on my intake I was talkin to someone else off the org and he was tellin me it may be because I have a frankencar intake and 1 hose could not plug in to the intake or so I could not find where it does so One small hose is just there. I know there are 4 hoses that plug in one on the actual midpipe then there is that tube that sticks out and u plug a fat hose in the large side and a little one on the side of that but theres 1 missing what can i do?

The following from 2000 Electronic Service Manual (ESM)


DTC P1320 IGNITION SIGNAL

Description:
The ignition signal from the ECM is sent to and amplified by the power transistor. The power transitor turns on and off the ignition coil primary circuit. This on-off operation induces the proper high voltage in the coil secondary circuit.

Possible cause:
- 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


It sounds to me as if you have one or more bad coils. Search around and you'll find several topics on bad coils on a 5th Gen.
