P0320 Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit Malfunction
Check plug wires. Make sure there are no cracks in the insualion, no discolored spots. And make sure they are CONNECTED correctly. If there is any discoloration, replace the wires.


~EDIT~
That's a starting point...Could be a weak coil, bad reluctor...almost anything.

Good to know I actually helped! If you can't find the manufacturer(try Google), go with some 8.0 or 8.5 mm high energy wires.
