Cel 2-3-8
Driving home from work, got 3 blocks down the street shifting into 3rd. at part throttle and I feel the engine die as a quick CEL is thrown. Coast over to the side of the road with a dead engine, all electrical works, repeatedly try to start car, turns over....nada? Pulled some fuses? Get out and try to push it up a driveway by myself, (couldn't), figured I'd give it another try and it fires right up like normal? Got it home and checked the code got 2 long= Ne signal, 3 long= G signal, then 8 long= Afm. Checked all my wires, Bipes, fuses, ecu, under hood and dash, didn't find anthing out of the ordinary, I had soldered my wires into the ecu to the bipes. It's seems to running OK right now, I hate to get stranded with the car on the highway and need a tow! I did a search, read some of the other threads, didn't find any threads with my codes exactly? Any suggestions?

Do you have an Rx-7 AFM or have ever forgotten to plug in your AFM back when trying to start? For some reason mine always has that code stored.
For:
02 Crank Position Sensor 2 (NE 2 Signal)
03 Crank Position Sensor 1 (G Signal)
RPM SIGNAL-NO SIGNAL TO ECU FROM DISTRIBUTOR ("Ne" OR "G") AFTER ENGINE HAS BEEN CRANKED
--DISTRIBUTOR/CIRCUIT
--STARTERSIGNAL CIRCUIT
--IGNITER/IGNITER CIRCUIT
--ECU
Something must have come undone or touched an exposed wire? Since your Bipes cuts the CAS signal when disconnected, I'd start to think you may of had a loose connection.
