    Car missing at lower rpm badly and randomly revs

    So I have a 19 mirage 46k miles. Whenever I start it, it often kills itself, I have to give it a dab of throttle to keep it from stalling and then it idles at 1.5k, sometimes revs up and down from 900-2k and sounds like it's missing on a cylinder. But when throttle is applied it runs fine, and at higher rpm (above 2k) it runs normal.
    I took it to autozone to run a obd2 on it and the following came up.
    P0011 - intake camshaft position timing - over-advanced (bank 1)
    P0016 - 1. Crank/Cam position phase. 2. Crankshaft position sensor phase. 3.camshaft position sensor. 4. Crank/cam position correlation.
    And finally
    C1225 - Deviation between wheel speed.

    Only have check engine light on, and airbag light on.

    Hey Rowdy -
    • Did you just buy the car used?
    • Or have you had it from new and know the history?
    • And is the car MT or CVT?


    You are on the right path to come in here and ask. Fummins & Johnny Mullet are going to be your best resources on this.

    Right off hand, I would think you have a sensor issue going on. And the bad sensor is throwing things off.

    Let us know the bullet points above, give is some background.

    Manual, bought it new, I drive it hard sometimes (cause I'm 12 and wanna go fast), I drive truck so it'll sit for 1-3 weeks at a time. Have not done anything maintenance wise to the engine beside air filter.

    Do you know when the last time the oil was changed? Is it the right viscosity? Sounds like something is gummed up or stuck in the MIVEC timing components.

    I'd start by checking out the wiring from the camshaft sensor.Attachment 26573Attachment 26574Attachment 26575

    Looks fine, all of the wiring look good

    It usually looks good from the outside. They're infamously known for breaking and corroding wires where the factory ziptied the harness.

    I gotcha, it's weird cause now it's running fine. So it must have bad wiring or something
