Yes the oil leak was solved someone threaded the new filter wrong.
The car had the same electrical issues today, since I assume the issue is with the camshaft position. I drove it today and when I felt the engine over rev up with no power behind it. I threw in neutral for a couple seconds, put it back in drive and the car continued to drive fine. It has all its get up and go it had before. It didn't throw codes today, even though I still haven't had the camshaft position sensor put on. So whatever I'm doing is allowing the cam to go to its starting position. But obviously I still need to resolve the problem.
Also this car has other electrical problems and I'm starting to wonder if there's a short somewhere. Maybe even going to the "brain" computer box.
The power windows don't work but the window motor is fine, I ran a hot off the battery to it to get them up. The HVAC system works intermittently [mostly not] but I've seen it blow hot & cold. Fuses have been checked.
This car was given to me a few days ago, and it's all I have to get my kids around. But I don't have money to pour into it trying to fix it and if I had money to take it to a shop I would. So I'm really praying it's a silly issue that were overlooking.
