Installing a new Camshaft is a major engine tear down. How did you get that done so fast? Its like a 2k repair if you pay someone?

You are throwing parts at a car that could just have a loose connection or the ICM is starting to fail or any one of a hundred different issues. A drivability mechanic with the right equipment is you best bet. The right equipment is north of 20k to buy not something they have at Autozone.

Sorry about that. Meant camshaft sensor.

I'm at least throwing parts that have to do with the overrall starting and running and the vehicvle is running better. I'll have to go to a mechanic and get a diagnosis. At this point, I would have paid for it anyway.

Finally, it's fixed! It was the whole fuel pump assembly so the pumps were good just the assembly wasn't giving me back any fuel pressure. Something told me to put a new assembly on couple months back but didn't.

I've got 40 psi and would like to know if that's the normal. I got all the codes erased and no Service Engine light has came back since Saturday. The o2s might still be good. Haven't drove alot of miles but really just in town here and there.
