Bump to help you figure it out...I suggest taking it to the dealership and let them figure it out!

I would take it to the dealer if it is still under warranty rather than mess with it yourself.

Check near the back of the valve cover near the cam gears and make sure your crank angle sensor is plugged in. It is a triangle shape with rounded edges. As far as your cam shaft sensor....have you washed your engine with any high pressure water (known problem on 1g's, not so much on the evo)? Is the sensor plugged in? Good luck and keep us posted.

Id be wary of takin to the dealer. They might find the problem, might now but they will still charge you a fortune. Take it to a good tuner or a mechanic with a good rep and go from there. As far as the problem, Im no su of the configuration of the cam gears or sensors for cam and crank angle, but start there.
