Answer
Hi Jodie,
The key code is 11 which says that the crankshaft position sensor is not reliably getting a signal to the powertrain control module so as to time the spark. That sensor is located on the passenger side of the engine, at the very rear where the seam between the engine and transmission is located, just above the surface of the trans' differential housing. It is held in place by a single bolt. Remove the electrical plug by first gently lifting the locking tab. Then remove the bolt and slide it out of the hole. Put in the new sensor with the paper spacer still in place on its tip, push on the body of the sensor to make sure the tip touches the surface it 'senses' and hold it in that position while you secure the mounting bolt. Put on the electrical connecter. See if that doesn't solve the problem.
