1992 BUICK PARK AVENUE

I have the above vehicle, 1992 buick park avenue, with 98k. This car has always ran good until I recently took a 600 mile trip, on my return to town of a sudden it started missing and running rough. I checked the computer and had 3 codes, 13, 14 and 41. I replaced the o2 sensor and replaced the camshaft sensor. The code's 13 and 14 went away but the vehicle still runs rough and the code 41 is still there. I checked the cam sensor and the wires as much as I could but no luck. Can you give me any idea what to do next? I am a senior and need this car. Thanks in advance. I would send a donation after the third if I ha ve any money left over.

Im having same problem. Same year car too. Took it to the shop and they replaced the coil pack and sendor unit(what the coil pack connects to). Got the car back they said it was fine then car ran with a stuturing lurching feeling. B4 my coil pack went out car ran fine and while it was out car didnt act like this. Now they say it is the camshft sensor. Well I took it out and it was very hard to get out, had to twist and turn and pull. But the new one goes right in with ease. Tightened it back down and now it drives even worse with it dying and a real gargled engine like the timing is off. Any isdeas?
