CEL Codes found. :(
Yesterday I removed my valve cover to inspect the valvetrain and perform a valve adjustment.
Everything seemed to go OK, but when I got it back together and fired it up, I got a CEL light (non-flashing.)
I parked the car, and rented a code scanner from the local parts store. Here is what I found:
P1362
P1259
P1367
The car has about 13,000mi on it. I have an AEM style CAI on it, and a cat-back exhaust. Other than that, the driveline is 100% bone stock.
The code descriptions I found seem to indicate something might be wrong with the top dead center sensor. The problem I have is I don't know where the TDC Sensor is located.
It is very possibly just unplugged, but I cannot find anything that I failed to reconnect.
Suggestions? Ideas?

My screen name is ruexp67 and I am an idiot. 
So I checked the connections on the two sensor on the top back area of the valve cover, and they were both secure. I decided to clear the codes and start the car and see if they came back (as I was at a loss.)
Before I could clear the codes, I started the car and noticed that the CEL had been cleared by itself. This got me thinking (dangerous, I know.)
Then it dawned on me, mis-fires could easily be explained by not having any spark plugs in the car.
I am sure I got the codes when I was performing a compression test yesterday. I drove the car for about 15mins, stopped the car, and restarted it and drove about another 5 mins and no codes have come back.
See, I told you I was an idiot.

good ol pete. 
by the way, this is not an excuse for you to bring the vette instead of the S2k to our wedding.

At least it wasn't that obvious.
