DTC 42 Electronic spark timing (EST) circuit

DTC 43 Electronicl spark control (ESC) circuit

DTC 43 is most caused by a faulty knock sensor, or a open  knock signal wire to the ESC.As for DTC 42 if you have a hard start condition this can set DCT 42 or a EST that grounded,or the ECM PROM.Also check the engine timing if it is not at specification .it can set DTC 42 and DTC 43 Near the distributor is a tan /black wire you will need to disconnect in order to time the engine.the timing should be a TDC.
