UPDATE: as suggested above i replaced my crankshaft position sensor (the one from autozone required a new connector and there wasnt much room to splice it in but now its done). it seems to be ok so far. it ran at about 2k rpm in the driveway for 40 min while i cleaned my garage and yesterday it wouldnt do that for more than 15 min w/o dying. took it for a short drive and maybe, just maybe its fixed. the old sensor was cracked once i got it out and the end looks like its worn through so i think even if its not my problem i didnt hurt anything blowing 65 bucks to try.
