New Is it back up and running?
inquiring minds want to know...

New Yes for ~2 minutes, then Nope.
Now the Onboard Diagnostics are telling me every sensor is bad. MAP, IAT, Camshaft Sensor, Crankshaft Sensor, Coolant Temperature (of which the dealer is telling me that this sensor has failed about "3" times in the US, maybe I'm #4), The knock sensor, the Oxygen Sensor, the econd Oxygen sensor, the OMFGPWNED sensor, etc...

Every person I have talked to with a mechanic cert or background tells me, it is one of two thing.

1) The computer was going bad the whole time taking out the sensors, or just making believe they were bad. But is for sure now bad, in any case.

2) The Charging System is screwed and creating AC as well as DC, screwing up the computer. (cannot be, the alternator was removed and tested during the head gasket replacement) and I looked for AC on the output when disconnected... 50mV which is good just Saturday... while using a drilling motor to rotate it.

Well, I have a known good used replacement I can testing with. $65 if it blows up, or $65 if it works, $0 if it doesn't.

If it doesn't, I am towing the car to the junk yard... well yes a Junkyard, but a REALLY good mechanic works there... and he is from a great referral.
