While working on this thing I noticed wires wrapped in electric tape? I have no idea why and what they are and what it works. I replaced oxygen sensor upper, crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, hope it helped solve my codes and acceleration, but maybe these wires are causing my problems?

Got to finish tomorrow, please offer help.
Have pictures.

Good morning.

I do need the pictures as well as all the codes you have. Once you have given me that information, I can help guide you on this issue.

Tip for how I removed a broken crankshaft sensor, after extensive research on web, I found different MSDA charts on chemicals that would break down o-rings, I figured it was rusted and swelled in block as told to me, so after attempting the screw idea and various sprays and it was not budging, I combined a list and sprayed onto the crankshaft and also widdled the outer baked on grease, I took my time and sprayed this on for three days and finally was freed and came right out, success story for sure!

Good for you. I use a product called Freeze Off. Very good stuff for loosening up seized o-rings.
