Just happened yesterday, was running perfectly, then at the light on my way home, the engine just turns off. I try to start it back up, it turns on and instantly shut off. I try it a couple more times, car starts but engine is struggling, then the TCS , CEL and Slip light turn on. Wtf right? Anyways, I turn on my emerg. Lights and try to drive home, I try n put my foot down and the engine seems to like choke, atleast that's the way it sounds. It feels like it's being drained, the power goes down and I lose speed, but when I put little gas in the car runs as if it were fine, just slowly. I checked all ignition coils, they all fire, replaced the spark plugs with new ones, and did an audible test on the fuel pump to see whether it was working or not. So I need some help guys, if anyone has an idea shoot it my way, anything helps.

 

Well I just had the same problem but started right back up and I scanned it and got code P0345

 

Yep that's your camshaft position sensor. Mine went out about a year ago. It wasn't as bad as yours, but my wouldn't go over 60 and was groaning really loud.

 

try unplugging your mass air flow sensor see if it runs any better in limp mode. I've had my mass air flow sensor go a couple of times and it would show a camshaft sensor code.

 

scan for codes

 

Which bank is which when it comes to cam sensors?

 

Yeah I tried that man, still ran the same way so MAF is out of the question. Just went to advance auto to get the codes read but the panzies said they don't go out after 8. Lmao, so I'll just see tomorrow and let you guys know what code I get and if you were correct.

 

If the cam sensor is bad make sure you buy a dealer oem one.

 

Got a P0100, MAF problem guys!
