Bad crankshaft sensor or bad wire. Needs to be replaced or fixed.

Could be a bad connection someplace. Did you use a GM crank sensor ?

yes I used GM, traced the wires as far as I could and they seem fine. The connector seemed very clean and good. I am stumped because I just started it, cleared the code and it ran great. I did not drive it however because I know what it does. It doesn't act up until it shifts under acceleration. ???

What year is this GA ?

Check the wires on the ECU/PCM.
As this code is a "circuit malfunction" not always does this mean the CPS was bad.

Also sometimes a relearn procedure must be done when replacing the CPS.

Who'd ever thought the "G" in GM would stand for Government Motors.
