you can check the code yourself - follow the instructions.

aight... i did the test and it came up with code 03 , which is the 'G' camshaft position sensor. Would this be a plausible cause of the problem?

bad distributor. the cam sensor is inside the disty, lots of people have that problem. you can do a mod called HEI. you can search around and see if you want to do this if not a new disty is most likely the cause. also check your wiring do your distributor plugs just to make sure its not the circuit wiring thats bad. good luck
