My car is throwing codes at me and it hurts!!!:help: Lol i did a Diagnostic test and my car threw 3 codes, Code 3: G Crankshaft Position Sensor Failure, Codes 15 & 17: LHO2S Inactivation and/or Inversion, i guess that explains my idle, the crankshaft part at least, but i dunno why my o2 sensor would be bad i just replaced them both 6 months ago, lil bastards are expensive.
And if ne one is wondering where i found how and what codes click here (http://home.golden.net/~trinity/) althouth i'm sure most of you have alread seen it.

ok i just got off the phone with an import shop and they told me how to flash and re-learn my computer. I dont know if ne of you know how to do this so i will post it for you. Hopefully the guy told me that if there is nothing physically wrong with the sensor that doing this should fix my problem, again the key work is hopefully :(
well ne ways here is the procedure
disconnect ground
depress brake pedle for 30 seconds
reconnect ground
turn ignition on, wait 6 seconds
run car at 2000rpm for 3 min.
Re-run diagnostic
the only thing were not sure of is if i have to have the diagnostic (TEN pin jumped to the ground pin) on while the car is running

to reset the computer all you have to do is disconnect the ground and make sure there is no charge left. Pressing the brake pedal is an easy way to do this.

NOPE resetting didnt work, i kinda figured it wouldnt since my car idles fine after i've been driving it for a couple hours. The thing is, that there is no loss in preformence, just that awfull sputter at low rpms and at idle.
