Update:

So I picked it up and saw the invoice for 206.00

They cleaned the cam sensor connector which was corroded, Fixed something with the ECM Ground, re-learned the idle, and gave it an oil change,

Ok, so I pay and drive off the lot. I don't even get a half block down the road and the car SHUTS OFF AS I'M DRIVING IT, and then the SES light comes on, and then it wont restart. I manage to roll it off the road, and it won't start for about 3 or 4 minutes, then finally boom, so I drive it back and tell them that nothing was fixed.

Of course it was 4:45 and everyone there was counting down the minutes to go home, and the tech took the car in came back over to me, and said they he needs to do some more diagnostics to figure out the problem, something is not right with wiring and the computer he says.

I told him that could it possibly be the Crankshaft sensor, as there is a known issue with these going bad, and he told me he would look into it.

So, now I 've had this car for 3 days and its cost about 310.00 in parts and labor.

I took a loaner car and will await there call tommorow, I'll keep everyone posted.
