Last night my car just stalled out...out of the blue, and now its running horribly rough at idle, i took it to autozone for a free CEL check and they came up with...P0011 and P0021 both were something to do with the camshaft sensor....its scary cause i have no idea how much this part will cost and if i can install it myself. and i have no idea if i should be driving it around with bad camshaft timing...doesnt sound too good to me! Somebody please help!
