ok i just put in a new camshaft position sensor in my 95 d. neon becuz i did the code thing thru the CEL.... and it brought up codes 12,43,54, and 55..... which i do know what the codes stand for.. well any ways.... my car ran like crap it didnt want to start and when it did it ran rough..... really rough.... and it didnt like to rev up when i pushed on the throttle..... it would bog down if i pushed it down partially.... but it would rev up if i feathered the gas pedal.... and the engine rocks when its idling.... but if i give it a lil gas it smooths out for a couple seconds until it gets back to the idle rpm.... so i replaced the cps.... thinkin that would stop it... but it didnt..... now i get codes 12,54, and 55..... and i dont understand y i get the code 54.... the codes 12 n 55 i do becuz 12 is battery discon. in last 50 key on turns... and 55 is end of error msgs..... can anyone give me any advice on what it could be.... and y its makin my engine run like shit.... oh yeah its a 95 dodge neon SOHC if that helps at all.... thanx for any help u can give me....

There's not much that can cause the 54...

cam magnet on the camshaft itself.
cam sensor is bad.
wiring to the pcm is bad
bad pcm

I've never heard of a magnet flying off, and the pcm usually doesn't go bad on its own. so the sensor (yes, I realize it's new) or the wiring are the safest bets. OBD-2 doesn't just throw codes for the heck of it...

Best of luck!
