And here's the verdict...
Code 1- 111: System checks OK(according to the site that I got the code puller off)

STORED CODES
176 (M) Oxygen sensor not switching - system is or was lean Left or Front HO22SSS - Fuel control
211 (M) Ignition PIP signal was erratic or missing - Ignition Systems
528 (M) System shows voltage at pin 10 (is A/C on ?) or pin 30 (PNP, CPP switch) - PNP
542 (O,M) Fuel pump open, bad ground or always on - - Power / Fuel Pump Circuits

Got the codes from http://www.shophoenixproject.com/eec/code3.htm which is the website that ohfosho suggested, which is the paperclip trick.


So...anyone care to take a stab at what all this means lol. The only code to pull that wasn't stored, was 111

Change to front O2 sensor. Disconnect the battery before doing it. Reconnect and that one should go away. The 542 is very common along with 543. I'm chasing mine down. I wouldn't worry on that one for now. Retest after a good drive. And make sure to do all the inputs- accellerate, wheel turn....

176 - replace your O2's (both is better)
211 - possibly your CPS or DIS. Has the car stalled lately or running weird?
528 - Make sure your climate control was in the off position. I don't think this is a code to really worry about.

might as well replace both o2's.

the 211, is a sign of the CPS heading out...

The 542 is from a stall.

no sure on the 528.

EDIT: dam steve got me by a minute....

:lol: Yeah, gotcha! Like I said in my post Saturday, right now being outta work I have to be cheap. Besides the 8 or so I nabbed were the best price... In the toolbag! And if it was bad, oh well... Did have an interview w/Pepsi today. I'm one of the frontrunners for the job. So maybe I'll be able to get my struts done one day!

Instead of creating a new post you should probably continue and add the info to one you allready have gotten feedback from. Just a thought because some people subscribe to the threads they have allready posted in and get alerts that something new was added.
That first 111 is just a cylinder ID, 1 flash for every pair of cylinders. Like the other folks stated, the one O2 (176) is being lazy which may cause poor gas mileage but not your driveability issues The 211 is probably the crankshaftshaft position sensor, and could certainly cause the engine to stall out, however when mine failed there was no stalling issue, it was just a sudden no start or spark issue, a faulty DIS module could also trigger that code and issue, Make sure you check the connections and that all the mounting screws are in place and tight. If so then an easy removal of the DIS module and a quick trip to an AutoZone or Murrays (that I know of who will do it for free) and a simple test can rule out the DIS and save you the trouble of throwing parts and money at your car. Make sure you use a thin coating of heatsink compound on the back of the DIS module when you replace it as outlined in a quick search or shotimes. If that checks out next time the car stalls check for spark, if there isnt any then you can be confident that its the cps. The replacement of the cps is involved and there are options. One is to do a full 60K and the other is to "simply" replace the cps, I myself just replaced the cps, again as outlined in shotimes. It just depends on how commited you want to get. The fuel pump codes should probably be ignored until the other codes are addressed... they are probably just a result of your car stalling.
