Do you have a CEL - or more importantly a blinking CEL? - if its blinking the +1 for ^

Those don't look good - for some stupid reason the coolant temp sensor can screw with all kinds of stuff. I would be afraid of the cam position code

 

jesus christ...... i can not bring it to any mechanics around here , they are total ripoffs. and i have about 100 bucks in my wallet lol. is there anyway i can mabe check the spark plugs and coil packs to see if their the culprit, pos cam sensor , i already had that , thats being done when i maintenance the engine, but those 2 misfires , wuts the fastes way to check that?

 

well #1 when were the codes last cleared - we need to make sure we're not trying to fix something that caused a code 2 years ago.
#2 Cam sensor can be replaced by removing the top timing belt cover - just clips on, you can do it without removing the front of the car( I think)

#3 Misfires - clear the codes - see if they both come back -if they come back, switch CP's #1 and #4 with #2 and #3 - if the misfires move with the coilpack/s - buy a new coilpack for each one that is misfiring - if they stay on #1 and #4 - change spark plugs

Now time to think worst case scenario - Your cam position sensor is telling the truth and your TB has jumped a few teeth and is causing the misfires. no idea now to check that with out taking off the head and and checking TDC.

 

hey , i cant thank you enough for ur time and help , i am gonna do exactly wut you said , thanx alot man , i will get back to you


TY!!!

 

I know that the CTS (coolant temp sensor) can cause lots of problems. When mine went out it cause a few random misfires, wouldn't idle right, and was a pain to start the engine if it was already warm. Try changing that first (only like $40 from the dealer) and see if it helps out with stuff.
