In fact, let's merge the 2 threads!

I thought those were the wrong codes, I just wasn't interested enough to look it up.

I Googled the P0016 and P0017 codes and found them in relation to the crankshaft position sensor and Whopper's guide to repairing this issue

In fact It's been over a month before I could get the time to even get these swapped out as I been so busy lately and in poor health. I had a other vehicle to drive but had my brother just take it as I thought the problem was fixed until I just started it again after a number of restarts without the problem coming up.
I think usually theirs more codes that pop up with the ones I have, but I figured I'd take a chance. Their was some crude around the old ones too which shocked me. I don't know if something's pugging the oil galleries or I am looking at a timing belt issue or even cam replacement at this point. But those are the only codes I am getting. Anyone know from experience with just those two codes alone what's been the common culprit with their own experiences.
Whopper had the solution as I had 2 mechs. did not know what to do, boufhr from the local dealer $115.00 for both and only took about 20 minutes total solved the problem thanks to Whopper. YIPPEE
