I'm really at a loss as to what this could be... but I'll try to explain it.
Basically sometimes my car runs fine and other times it doesn't. For example, the other day I had an appointment and drove there (about 5 miles) just fine. As I go to leave, my car starts sputtering a lot. If I let it idle it would be fine, but once I put it in gear and gave it some gas the RPMs would basically start having a seizure... That's about the only way I can explain it. When it was doing this the check engine light would flicker on and off, then once I let it idle it would either stay on or go completely off. So I'm pretty lost as to where to start.
So today I started to take a look at it and when I started it and rolled it into the garage it ran just fine. No check engine light, no nothing. I let it run for a while, took it around the block, nothing. So then I decided to just give it some gas and see what happened. As long as I stayed under 4k, it hummed beautifully, but once I gave it enough to go over 4k it would start sputtering again.
Hopefully I've explained it well enough...
I don't know if it could mean it jumped timing, bad vaccuum somewhere, bad oxygen sensor... I have no idea. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
In related news, my car has an idling problem when it's cold. It does the 500 to 1k, to 500, to 1k thing for a few minutes until it warms up. I'm thinking the ICV (or whatever it's called on Probes) needs to be cleaned, but I don't know where it is (throttle body?) so any help on that would also be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Here are the error codes I've pulled from the car:
02 Crankshaft Position Sensor #2 (CKP2)
03 Cylinder Identification (CID) Sensor
04 Crankshaft Position Sensor #1 (CKP1)
15 (Left) Heated Oxygen Sensor (LHO2S) Voltage Always Below 0.55v
24 (Right) Heated Oxygen Sensor (RHO2S) Voltage Does Not Change
