Hi i recently bought a 1997 buick skylark. The guy said it was bad gas thats why it wouldn't start so i though't okay let me fix it up. Well i drained most of the fuel in it. And filled it up with 93. I changed the sprak plugs and booth. Also the fuel filter. The car takes a while to start. When it does start it won't idle you have to give it gas. I ran it for a little while. When you let the gas go it will stay on for a a couple of seconds idling really bad. I got an obd2 scanner and got some codes.


The codes are crackshaft sensor, Throttle position sensor, Cl fault fuel sys2, Fuel sys 1 ol. I think the fuel system is clean, but im not sure if it wasent will it throw these codes or do i need to replace these sensors? Some one please HELP.

maybe a loose ground. i dont know if anything else would effect all those sensors at once. or possibly the pcm.
