So when I first bought this car, it had a really bad erratic idle, that would drop down to 0 and bounce right back up in a matter of a second, and keep doing this. It would flicker, and then stall. It's not fuel related. It'll actually stall when I'm driving and then not start back up. I replaced the ignition coil and all was fine. Now, three months later, it's doing this again >:( What do you guys think? It's throwing a 12, 13, and 41 codes. Could these all be related to the 41 (TPS?)

And now it's not throwing code 12. So I just have a single code 13. Seeing as the distributor has now been replaced, it seems like it's either my ECM, or the wiring in between the two. I'm thinking I might just see if it's the wiring by running my own wire from the dizzy to ecu(only in the circuit that it says is faulty.)

the distributor wires are run in a sheilded cover.
you can test continuity with a multimeter between the distributor connector, and ecu plugs to check the wiring.
