fixed it. i pulled out injectors and i guess they were clogges so i just turned the motor over a few times with injectors out. popped em back in and it runs fine

This makes no sense. How does pulling them out fix them from being clogged?
But, whatever though, right? At least it's running right again.
ok so i thught it was fixed started driving it and drove it around and it was all good. so then i let it sit for a little while started driving in then pulled in my drive way and its back to doing what it was doing now im completley lost.
Assuming it's not the wires (new) and not the plugs (new and gapped correctly) than my money is still on either the the cam sensor or the crank sensor (but those going out "tend" to only show themselves as issues above 2200-2500ish RPM's).
The flashing CEL denotes a rapid misfire condition. Ruling out the injectors, plugs or wires it could be a massive leak at the intake manifold gasket. I blew out all the gasket material on my #1 runner once and my car started doing what yours is doing.
- Wires are new, right?
- Plugs are new and gapped correctly, right?
- You haven't truely ruled out injectors as you don't have a solid CEL for which cylinder is having the misfire or tried a known working set.

Just shooting ideas out there for ya.
was just thinking the same thing. intake mani leak? possibly a bad injector o ring? this would explain why you pulled them out, and put them back in and it worked, then after sitting for a while the problem came back. try getting a new o ring set from autozone. should be like 2 bux.

Pressurizing the intake manifold with the throttle body open would point out any glaringly huge leaks, which this seems to be. *shrug*

er..i wouldnt recommend doing this. the average diy'er takes a big risk fucking up the motor doing this. similar to doing a boost leak check with the tb open. it can be done...just be careful.
i definitely agree with you though, this is most likely nothing more than a bad vacuum leak.

Yeah, I had second thoughts about posting that too. :P
im so confused i need to get this thing running asap
It's a process of elimination dude. You have a P code that indicates a multiple cylinder misfire.
The obvious things that causes misfires are plugs, wires and injectors. The not so obvious would be intake manifold gasket or injector o-rings. Too much air getting sucked past those would cause misfiring. Other not so obvious things would be the cam/crank sensors but you would have codes for those, IMHO. Could also be the coil pack or the harness for it. Lastly, could be the PCM (but I doubt it). Unless you're made of money I suggest you get a buddy with an SRT and start swapping known good parts.
ok thanks well i have changed and checked cam sensor, plugs,wires,coil pack,injectors are shooting fuel when i pulled em out and cranked it over but i dunno it just an on and off problem
