    Has anyone had an experience with an error code P0101? I was driving home last night and the car was running fine but while coasting down a hill, the car lost all power and basically shut off. i rolled into a parking lot and tried to restart, but the engine would turn over to about 1k rmp, then die again. I was able to get it moving by giving it some gas while it hit that 1k mark and holding. I held it for about a minute, then the car seemed to be running stable, yet it happened once again, under the same situation (no acceleration).

    I read that i could try cleaning it with electrical cleaner, or purchase a new one, but i dont know if there could be any other culprit to this. FWIW, i had "recently" put on a new KN cone filter so this could have somehow gotten oil on the sensor itself.

    Thank you in advance

    EDIT: Looked around the engine and noticed that the vac tube just below the snout of the sc that goes into the LIM was completely split and leaking like crazy. could that have had something to do with this?
