stumped. stalls. Doesent stall. idk

Before.:cold start. I start car it ran fine till it idles down then it stalls it takes a few seconds but it eventually dies. obd2 says bad cam sensor, both crank sensors, knock sensor, and of sensor.

I replace both crank sensors and cam sensor. replaced an injector today, #3 cylnder, (ohm resistance on bad one was 113.9)

after: cold start, miss for a few seconds then runs fune, idle down and stall after it warms up. I drove it 30 miles on Highway and it didn't stall any more after I got on Highway it wouldn't rev over 3.5k. it misses like its hitting a cut off.

from 65 clutch in coast down to 45 when down shift to 4th release clutch mass misfire. Clutch in, rev, engage clutch, all good.

seems like a really common on problem on these 4th Gen's

from what I've seen it could be your MAF or IACV

maf will throw a code wont it? i think im gonna take off iacv and clean it tomorrow, i took it off while doing injector and there was actually a gap in the silicone gasket, but i looked up on google a little bit ago and it mentioned a service bulletin from sept 99 about the main wiring harness, i feel like this is something is bad not just intermittent wire issue because this is every time i start it. bullitin classification ec97-018b ref no ntb98-008b, sept 16 1999 thats not my problem here right?

MAF's may or may not throw a code, they're weird...

& that service bulletin is not your problem

Something isn't right with you OBD diagnostics. If the cam and both crank sensors came up bad, the car would have never started.

Scan again and post your findings. Clearly you have a misfire or the MAF is failing.

I've had a bad cam sensor & the car started until the sensor got warm then it stalled

But you should scan again

Cam sensor control fuel injector timing, if it's bad the car will run a default fuel timing map based on the crank position.

If crank POS is bad you'll get a no start condition.

I got crank pos and crank ref were bad I replaced them and in my grandpas driveway ran his scanner and pulled 02 (that is always pulled cus no of sensor after cat because no cat - previous owner) @and cam sensor a bad I'll run to autozone n scan again. Off topic does anyone have a link on how to wire the 2 bulb headlight system instead off 1 bulb? I think I blew a fuse any time light were on brights indicator was on n driver side went out last night. Any time I hit brights they just come in but they all dim. Back to topic. Once it's warm it don't die any more but 8 it drops to idle about 2/3 of the time it's missing like crazy for a few seconds.
