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
1 24 32 43 14 5 I guess thats how it's supposed to be...anyone wanna help?
Edit: there was also quite a bit of oil in the spark plug wells...

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

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.
