Well I finnaly got a used engine in my car...I wasent able to put it in but the shop did a good job of getting it in there..anyway...I drove it today..ran fine..then it began to buck a little under acceleration. I tow'ed it back home and tried starting it..and it ran fine but I didnt leave the driveway I just rev'd it a bit seeing if it'd start to stall again and after a few minutes it did. but I got the code(s) from the CEL and Im not sure how to read them but I wrote down the "blinks" so

That'd be 12, 43, 24, 31, 45. Each code is 2 digits. Of course, you'd know that if you checked this...

This would have worked, too...

Of course, in my travels, I also happened upon this post.

Tim? :nono

A. looked at that allready never really understood how to read it perfectly.

B. I just asked for an answer and you gave it to me so Thank you.

Edit and Ive read the 2nd link a few times but I didnt get the 55 at the end so I didnt know if I had done something wrong. so yep..

Yeah, I can be a prick about things, sometimes. Well, all the time, I guess. I did, however, give you the information you asked for because you aren't a stupid no0b. I just thought it was funny to dig out Tim's old post. ;)

Edit: It can be hard to read the flashes sometimes. I bet that the 45 at the end is really a 55.

Edit to my edit: Oil in the plug wells means that your spark plug grommets have shit the bed. Replace the valve cover gasket while you are in there. It's as good of a time as any to re-seal the half-circle on the intake driver's side of the head at the end of the intake cam. Lastly, replace the stupid gasket under the cam sensor. It's a piece of shit gasket that should be RTVed in place.
