code 42

what is the most common repair for code 42?

i found this somewhere:

Electronic Spark Timing (EST) circuit - open or shorted to ground during engine run
OR Direct Ignition System (DIS) fault - bypass circuit open or shorted ground during engine run
OR Fuel Cutoff Relay Circuit - open or shorted to ground

how do i fix the problem once its diagnosed?
