Default 93 Trac Control made CEL 13 appear and misfire. Distributor caps?

Hey guys, I was making a u-turn on a corner and the traction control kicked in (i guess i turned to fast) immediately I got a check engine light and the car started to misfire. I checked out the CEL and it comes up as code 13, which is rpm signal 2. When i start the car up cold it misfires for about 5 to 10 minutes until the engine heats up and it runs smoothly. I don't think my car jumped a tooth of timing just because of that, so i'm ruling that out. I also checked both ignition coils, they are both good. I'm starting to think its one of the distributor caps and/or rotors. You guys have any input? Thanks ahead of time!

Well, I tried looking in my FSM to help you out, but the 95's used the OBD2 system and the codes are totally different....

If it's saying something about RPM signal, i would think that a sensor of some sort is the culprit. Perhaps the cam/crankshaft sensors?
