That having been said, if it is crackling when it is turned off then it isn't that.

Regarding the P1345, your distributor timing is likely advanced or retarded more than the PCM would prefer. On this engine, crankshaft position is read at the crank, and cam position is read at the distributor. You might be able to adjust it by turning the distributor, but if it is too far out of whack you'll have to pull the distributor and turn the shaft a tooth or few depending on how bad it is.
