Top Dead Center Sensor
I have a Code 8 reading on diagnostics which I have understood is a faulty TDC Sensor. Can anyone tell me exactly what the TDC Sensor does and how would it affect the performance of my car?

TDC - Top Dead Center
It's a sensor that tells the ECM when the #1 piston is at top dead center. Without this sensor working properly, it could throw off your timing and cause detonation(bad thing)
