I'll try to adjust the reluctor pickups, but I've had this happen to me on the highway so I'm skeptical it will work.

did you have that cas connector done before the tune or after the tune ?? is there any other connector between the cas cable to the ecu ?

No other connector between the CAS and the ECU.

I can't remember if the issue was before or after the tune, since I installed it like 7 years ago and had it tuned like a year after that, lol.

I want to say it was after the tune though.

If anyone gives a damn, I got it taken care of (I think).

Eventually while I was fiddling with some wiring inside the car messing with other stuff, having the car idle I checked the error screens when I saw both the Home and RPM were showing an error.

Decided to swap out with a CAS I got from another member here, and it seems to be working great now.

The idle seems to be much better as well. Now I just need to run the rest of this shitty gas out, change the fuel filter, plugs and some sad looking vacuum lines and we'll be in business.
