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

Loose wires/connectors.
Arcing secondary ignition components (coil, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, etc.).


CB/Ham Gear installed or in the past? that can trigger the pip also
