I just got the problem I was having with my car fixed,

My problem was with the camshaft position sensor, it failed and thus the spark plugs were not igniting....

hope that helps some of yall with troubleshooting in the future, i dunno if its a common problem or whatnot- but it toook like 6 or 7 hours testing all the wires, ignition coils, electronics, to finally figure it out

I don't know if its my imagination, but after a couple days of putting new gas the car runs 100 times better then it did before. Idle is back to normal. Casual driving feels like its back to normal as well. I haven't tried pushing it like I did before.

I guess bad gas then?
