cleaned the throttle body real well ... took it out for a ride and boom, again it died and hard starting .. so while I sat there I did the code check which I had failed to do earlier and it read P0320 No Crank Reference Signal at PCM No reference signal (crankshaft position sensor) detected during engine cranking.
is this the CPS or CKS sensor ... is this located by the oil stick ?? part number ending in 1020 ??
thanks again to so many helps .. sorry if I cause a flurry in cross posting .. you all have been generous with your knowledge
