[850] Misfire on all cylinders (What is a crank sensor?)

I want to believe "it feels like it keeps 'turning over' for a split second after I've cut the juice." is causing the random misfire codes as each time you shut the car off you get a different cylinder. I second the clearing and wait to see what pops up first.

Yeah, I tend to buy quite a bit from Harbor Freight. The quality on most basic hand tools is pretty on-par with Lowe's or Home Depot. Same goes for some automotive tools they have. A lot of their newer brands are pretty decent.
I wish I had one a little closer, but a 15 minute drive there isn't too bad!

The margin on harbor freight stuff is about 900% and it really isn’t the place for sockets and wrenches. But quality and fit is poor.

Kobalt line fromlowes is decent quality and free replacement locally for many

Tekton makes good quality sets via Amazon

Snap on if you are loaded with money, but overkill unless you are a pro and use everyday

I actually have two socket sets from HF (the rest are mostly Craftsman), one of which I have in my junkyard tool bag, and I think they are actually pretty nice. They look and feel good, and they fit fasteners well. My only complaint about them is that they're 12 point. I can't stand 12 point sockets. The deep set I have is 6 point (only reason I chose them over Craftsman, their cheapest set was 12) and I have zero complaints about them.

I have one set of Kobalt sockets too, and I like them. Definitely better than the Pittsburgh sockets, but other than the 6 vs. 12 point, not by much. The obvious advantage with Kobalt tools vs. every other brand, Lowe's are everywhere, and their hours are much better than HF, Northern, etc.
My other go-to brand for convenience and quality would be Duralast. I have an Autozone right around the block, and they're open until 10 most nights. I have one socket set from them, and the main thing I don't like is that they aren't easy to read. You have to find the little size stamped right next to the part number, so it's hard to tell if that's even it. My dad probably couldn't use them, luckily I'm young and can still see!

Plug is flipped back around. error codes cleared, and after 20 minute drive, still clear.. even after being turned off/on (and having those extra shudders from the engine after cutting power) .. fingers crossed!

Bet it needs to be on freeway for a bit before computer can make all its checks.. Update soon!
