Chrysler Repair: 95 cirrus NO START-- NO SPARK SOLVED, obd, previous question

Question
Roland
I asked previous question on my no start not spark  got codes 12 71 33  from using key on off on off on sequence
Letting you know I got a new complete dist. off ebay  $200
It started right up.  Service engine light is still on.
Get same codes.  My code reader reads both obd I and II but will not communicate   "unable to establish connection"
Do you think these codes will go away after 50 good starts?
I have checked out the code 71 per your guidance  all 5 V  seem ok.
Thanks    Tracy

Answer
Hi Tracy,
I believe the car is an OBD-I type system so in theory you should be able to erase the codes by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes (but I wouldn't do that if you have a theft system on the car as that can sometimes cause a false alarm and shut down). The OBD-I systems are supposed to erase after 50 key on-off cycles if the cause of the code has corrected. I am pleased that you determined the no spark to be the distributor.
Thanks so much for bringing me up to date.
Roland
