Faults:
OK, so I bought this car about 2 months ago. This car ran perfect, but had a little sputter. The day I was going to change the fuel filter, (thinking that was the sputter problem), it died on take off from a stop light. Afterwards, the car would not start.
I diagnosed it with a "no cam signal", which is built into the distributor, and also replaced the crank position sensor. That fixed my problem, but only for a little while. I re-diagnosed it and got a "throttle/pedal position sensor" code on an OBD2 code reader. I replaced that, put a fuel filter and a fuel pump on it, and the car will still not start. It had fire, until tonight. We rescanned it and it shows both crank and cam signal.
What the hell can be wrong with this car? It seems like there are too many doing the same things. Can we do anything about this, does anyone have any kind of suggestion or answer. This is bulls**t, and makes no sense whatsoever. I took it to the dealership, and the only thing they can tell me, is that they're damn stupid and have no clue. Wanna charge me 100.00 just to scan it, when I have already told them what it's doing.
PLEASE HELP, I NEED TO SAVE THIS CAR.

The oil light coming on at idle is a sign of worn crankshaft bearings.
