Well I have posted and couple threads trying to solve my problem, so here is the status the car will run only when I hook the ob2 up and clear out the cel 0340 (bad cam position sensor) which I have replaced. but if the car sits for a period of time and then you try to re-star it, then it starts and idels for a couple seconds then stalls out, and then to find out its still reading the cel. Now I have re-set the ob2 a couple of times but it still brings up the cel after sitting a while and will stall and the only way to get it to run is to hook the ob2 up and clear the cel again (and I just replaced what its reading camshaft position sensor). Also the vacume in the car only reads about 8-10 (I check and replaced the vacume lines there is no leaks or kinks) but here is what is also weird the vacume seems to increase when I put more fuel in using the afc Like from about -7 to +15 (at 1k and 2k rpms) the vacume seems to incresae but if I take the correct amount of fuel out (around -18) vacume only reads 8 to 10. Please help me any and all suggestions are welcome thanks. I also dont think its the ecu the last time the car was running it ran fine (which was before the engine was pulled to replace clutch flywheel and gaskets and belts and other small stuff).
 
come on someone has to have an idea why the hell does it keep throwing the same cel after I cleare it and I replaced what the cel said was the error (cam position sensor) wisemen please help!
