P0323

Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit Intermittent

DTC P0323, sometimes indicated as P032300 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the ignition system causing ignition/distributor engine speed input circuit intermittent.

This code is set when the PCM detects an intermittent interruption in the engine speed signal from the ignition/distributor. This could be caused by a bad sensor, wiring issue, or dirty/damaged contacts in the distributor.
The first thing to check is the wiring and connectors between the sensor and PCM. If there is any damage or corrosion, it will need to be repaired or replaced. Next, check the sensor itself for damage or contamination. If it is dirty or damaged, it will need to be cleaned or replaced. Finally, test the contacts in the distributor for damage or corrosion. If any damage is found, it will need to be repaired or replaced.
