There are no easy jobs!
CEL came on... got it scanned... 2nd O2 sensor bad... OK, maybe...It cost $70 to replace so I did it, since I bought car used and didn't know if it had been done. Car ran fine afterward but CEL still on. Didn't want to spend $130 on a new CAN capable scanner because money's tight right now so I tried a PCM reset... CEL still, on but car ran fine. Did a KAV reset, CEL went out but now car dies at stoplights if I don't keep revs up... otherwise seems to run fine. I did the KAV reset when the engine was still warm from the test drive. Does anyone know of a specific protocol for after a reset? I know the computer needs to relearn after a reset but I've driven it over 25 miles and no change.
Thanks for any help!
 
You need to reset the eccentric shaft sensor.......

Key on Engine off, pump brake pedal as fast as you can until you see oil pressure gauge "Sweep"..... Then Key off and restart... You wil be good from here
