Re: running rough

A code 42 can be tripped by a bad cam position sensor, crank position sensor, or ignition module. All three can fail due to to heat. The ignition moudle can be taken to Auto-Zone or Advance and be tested for free. The other two are harder to diagnose. When you replaced the crank sensor, did you adjust the air gap? If you didn't, it's possible the sensor contacted the reluctor on the harmonic balancer and it got damaged.
