The Cam Shaft and Crank Sensor was bad, and when I kept trying to start it it backfired and threw the timing off they told me, had those replaced and the timing reset and she's good as new! :thumbup: thanks a bunch for your help guys!!!! I really appreciate it!

My cousin said that in most of the classes he goes to for stuff like this, they almost always say that the DCx cars don't always throw codes when the cam/crank sensors go bad. It's just something funky that our cars do so I wouldn't rule them out quite yet.

Dangit I was wrong! :banghead: :cussing: :banghead:

Is it an ATX? Because if it is, shifting it is a bad idea. :slap:

when did I say I was shifting it? yes it's an ATX but after I had my tranny rebuilt I haven't shifted it like a stick.

Probably the cam sensor was bad, but the tech tried the crank sensor first and it did not cure the problem so they threw in a cam sensor and it worked.....happens all the time....
