On a problem such as the one you are having you may want to take it to the
dealer and have them connect the co-pilot to the vehicle. It is a tool
that
will record so many seconds before and after the problem occurs when the
trigger is set to fault code. The data is then downloaded to be see
what
the possible cause was. There is a TSB out for this to reflash the
controller but only if there is a fault for the crankshaft sensor. If what
you are saying is true and there is also a cam sensor fault you may have a
wiring issue or a faulty PCM. If this vehicle is still within 8/80 the
reflash and or replacement of the PCM would be covered under the Federal
Emissions law.
The cam and crank sensor share the same ground and the same 5 volt feed.
You
could hard wire the circuit by running new wires to these sensors, the A/C
pressure transducer shares the same 5 volts feed as both The cam and crank
sensor. If this transducer shorts out and pulls down the volt signal you
would get both fault codes set. Disconnect the A/C pressure transducer and
continue to drive the vehicle to see if the problem is gone. It should be
located on the high side A/C hose.
Good luck
