Poorly Calibra

My Calibra decided to throw its dummy out of its pram on the way home today. Going along at 50mph and it started to pop and the revs went eratic then dide on me just outside Peterborough, in road works of all places! A very nice gentleman in a Zafira GSi stopped and helped me push it out the way of traffic as I couldn't get it stared again(I must find him on fb and thank him).
I got it started again in the end but only runs in limp mode. I manged to get to the in-laws where I coud do a paper clip test, and came up with these codes:
0130 O2 sensor
0100 MAF sensor
0351 Ignition coil 1 & 4
0335 Crank sensor
0340 cam sensor
The last two are probably because the the car wasn't running at the time. I checked all the connections and all seemed ok. I managed to get the car home but haven't had time to investigate further yet. I have the parts apart from an O2 sensor so will have to investiaget and start changing parts when I get
home from work tomorrow.

The same thing happened to me a few months back, driving along and then all of a sudden lack of power, popping and banging, and rev counter revving off the clock, even when I wasn't pressing the gas pedal, also EML came on, pulled over and re started the car and ran fine, so I carried on home and just 2 mins round the corner from my home it happened again, managed to get it to my local garage, they hooked it up to the machine and the code said cam shaft sensor, got a new one fitted and its been fine since, mines a 2 litre ecotec by the way.

Well I got it sorted this evening. Had to replace the MAF sensor and the coil pack. All the other fault codes cleared too. Took it for a run and all is good now. Just ordered everything to do a major service at the weekend. So happy days
