Thank you, Lee and Erik.

hmm. makes me weary of going the computer route, but the mechanic seams to be leaning that way last we spoke.

The codes that I pulled from the car the evening it died were:

A2 had nothing

A6
3-2-4 Camshaft Position sensor (CMP) signal missing sporadically
4-1-1 Throttle position sensor (TPS) signal from fuel injection system missing or faulty

a few days later, after clearing codes and taking some sensors off, it then read:
2-1-4 Engine speed (RPM) sensor signal missing sporadically

again, I replaced the camshaft potion sensor, crank sensor, and throttle position sensors due to those codes above.


I don't know anything about cars, so excuse my ignorance, but I did also notice exposed copper wire on the wire harness leading to the fuel injectors by the fuel rail. Just figured I'd mention that in case it was useful.
