Code 43 after new plugs and wire's? HELP

I just put new plugs and wires on my '89 TA 305TPI. I felt the improvement in power immediatley. Then, I got to operating temp and it started to shimmy or vibrate. It may be missing, I really can't pin-point it. Anyway, before I got back to the house, the SES light came on. I got a 43 code. Do I need to replace the ESC module or look at something else?

Hello TADave,

No, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to change the ESC module and yes there are several other items you can do. Check out this chart and work from it.
