1998 Buick Century 6 cyl Automatic 122091 miles

hello,

my service engine lights been on for about 3 months i haven't
had the time or money to fix it!

My first mechanic reset the code it stayed off for about a day
then the light came back on..

he replaced spark plugs...1 wired became frayed as he checked the plugs,he had to replace that wire..

months later the car would not turn over on the first time sometimes..before i didn't even have to turn my wrist in the
car would fire up..

my second mechanic notice black sutt dripping from tail pipe
he sprayed some throttle body cleaner car now turns over like
it did when i first brought it used in march of 08..

but i can't pass admissions in G.A. with that service light still on.. i took it to auto zone the reading cam up crank shaft sensor.. the mechanic who did the throttle body cleaner changed the crankshaft sensor 32.00$ it was hell getting that hyper barrick off.. he took the battery cable off reset the code
light went off for about 20 minutes.. I cam back to auto zone to recheck when light came back on the code still read crankshaft position sensor PO336-ACKTRNG PERFORMED
AT AUTO ZONE!

I'M NOT SURE WHAT MY NEXT MOVE IS... IN NEED MY CAR FOR WORK... HOPE U CAN HELP..
