well i looked at the tps for the first time and seen it was installed just not the right way. they installed it but did not attach it to the throttle. the old owner told me the tps was just replaced before i got the car so i never checked it. its been running fine now for about 2 weeks now. check engine light went off. then tonight on my way home from pittsburgh it strated back firing like hell and would not start got it towed home charged the battery and still no start. i checked the code due to the ck eng light being on again. code 18. i pushed on the wiring harness to the crankshaft sensor and it started right up. so i am assuming the wiring harness is bad. going to replace it tomorrow. and just when i thought i was done lol. thanks for all the help tomatofarmer1

i got some codes; code: 18 crank or cam sensor error. (could that code be from before i changed the cam and crank shaft sensor?) code: 22 tps sensor signal voltage low. and code:42 electronic spark timing (EST) circuit grounded. im like wow where to begin.

Ok guys having problems again. Today my wife was on her way to work had 3 more minutes to go til she was at work then it died. It came home on the flat bed was cranking but not starting again. I knew it has been like 4 years since it had a tune up. So I pulled a plug it was looking very nasty. I put it back in checked the see if there was presure in the fuel line there was but not like I wanted to see but when you turn the key it sprays. Then I checked for spark I had none. So then I unplugged the cam shaft sensor and looked at it it seemed to look good Iplugged it back in had spark then but still would not start but was making a popping noise sort of like a back fire. But not loud. Then I was pumping the gas peddle and holding to the floor it started and is running fine again. Also it has been hesitating when you step on the gas hard. So I put new plugs and wires and a oil change it was 10k over due. After all that the service light is still on and still hesitating. I am going to do a fuel filter tomorrow. Also some times the security light stays on for a few mins when you first start it and comes on when your driving once in a blue moon. Also I am looking for the reset button for the change oil light I Seen online there is a hole on the passenger side under the dash but I must be blind or dumb because I can’t find it. Lol I’m probably just dumb and looking right at it lol but any input on this would be just awesome

It was the 3x one I was mad at myself for how easy it could have been to start there but none of that matters because I learned something and thats the best tools to have in a tool box. Replacing both sensors just means no problems there for awhile. I’m going to upgrade my membership this forum has proven itself time and time again. Also I feel by upgrading it will be my way of giving back to the etcg community. Shoot being a member here I feel like I can fix anything lol. (I wish) But with this case being closed I can now go back to the lumina and hopfully finish the heads.
