[Shotimes] Getting Very Frustrated - Random Stalling

Mike;
Another thing to try would be to unplug the Cam Sensor and run it. I had a
brand new one fail recently and it gave me all sort of intermitent fits. Car
runs fine without it, just takes a while to start.

Last possibility would be a loose connection somewhere. Could be almost
anywhere. Depends on what you moved / changed when problem first occured.
Try the wiggle test on any or all wires associated with the ignition system
and / or engine computer. Since it is not leaving a code, I'd guess it is
downstream from the computer. Ie: DIS, coil, etc.vs MAF.

Do you know how to run the sensor quick test / engine self test program
built into the computer?

Good luck
Lee
