Code 211 -- PIP Problem

[Skandocious]

Pulled my codes today cuz I threw a TCC code after playing with the switch too much So I cleared the TCC code but also found this code in the continuous memory; never threw a check engine light.

211 - Two or more successive erratic Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) pulses occurred, resulting in a possible engine miss or stall.

I'm not very familiar with the PIP... Can anyone shed some light on this code?

This one most of the time this turns out to be the PIP sensor in the distributor is going bad.
But could be a bad/loose pulgs/wiring from the distributor/ICM to the PCM computer.

/ = OR
ICM = Ignition control module (TFI)

Book says:
DTC 211 indicates two successive erratic Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) pulses occurred, resulting in a possible engine miss or stall.

Possible causes:

Loose wires/connectors.
Arcing secondary ignition components (coil, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, etc.).
On-board transmitter (2-way radio).

Verify all radio and condenser installations. Carefully follow manufacturer's installation instructions regarding the routing of antenna and power leads.

Hmm.... I don't have a 2-way radio. I did reset my timing a few weeks ago and was playing with the SPOUT a little bit. Think that could have caused this?
