DIC is the 'direct ignition cassette' - the red thing that spans the top of the motor. Its got the ignition coils and some electronics that sense when and how the combustion is going, including knock.
Crank Position Sensor watches the crank turn - on a '98 its on the transmission end of the engine.
There isn't a cam position sensor - they're chain driven and don't adjust, so between the crank sensor and DI the ecu can figure out the timing.
It helps everyone if you can give the actual codes...
First thing to check (codes or not) is what plugs you've got - they HAVE to be resistor and properly gapped to keep the DI from a premature death. Standard NGK plugs are the one most folks swear by - and what the system was designed to. Best way to get a plug with matching specs is to get the NGK plug.
