there are two oil control valves for the camshafts...variable timing. do a search on this forum and their are entries of where they are located. The codes are absolutely necessary....

Well I found the exhaust leak. The downstream 02 sensor has broken off and is just hanging there.
Transmission is shifting fine today so there is something intermitent. I am going to see if I can somehow get the 02 sensor remounted. We cannot afford a new exhaust at the moment. I see some jbweld in the future. I hate putting bandaids on but I do not want my family poisoned either.

I reset the computer and the light has not came back. She seems to be running much better now. Crossing my fingers.
Just an update. Everything is running good. Now avg 19.3 mpg +/- the variance of the cpu. This is in stop and go traffic on the highway. After the smell of the residual jb weld finally went away, the car is much more quiet and no check engine light.
