You replaced sensor and car still tries to quit at low speed? If thats the case then you didn't fix your problem. I may just be missunderstanding you, if so, my fault. The way you clear the code is: 1) you can unhook the neg. terminal on your battery for a few minutes. That will clear it or, 2) go to a parts store and they can use a OBDII diagnostic tool that will clear the code. Most parts stores have them and it don't cost anything. Hope I could be of assistance.

Turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal three time in five seconds. If the CHANGE OIL SOON’ indicator flashes two times, the system is resetting. Turn the key to OFF, then start the vehicle. If the CHANGE OIL SOON indicator comes on and stays on for five seconds, repeat the procedure.

SOURCE: I have a 2000 buick lesabre. The fix engine soon

It NEVER was the camshaft sensor! Unless, you've removed the engine lately, which I doubt.
RUN to Advance Auto Parts and buy a can of "SeaFoam" and add to your gas tank per instructions...drive at least 100 miles and the problem should go away...IF it doesn't you'll have to replace the O2 sensors in the exhaust system...Any good mechanic should be able to do this for much less $$ than the dealership DO NOT go to the dealer for repairs!
Good Luck

SOURCE: I have a 1991 buick par avenue with 3800 engine.

If you have NOT replaced the CRANK sensor....REPLACE IT NOW.
It is known to fail often and cause stalling often.
It is so bad it should be replaced at every tune up.

Other common causes of stalling as you describe are.....failing fuel pump or connections to same.

A/C cycling lowering voltage and causing stalling?........not likely.
If you want to test that.....just disconnect the A/C pressure switch to prevent the A/C from coming on at all for a few days and see if that is causing a problem......before spending more $.

Why does it blow a lot of black smoke out tail pipes when floored to pass a car?

Yes. Could also be a dirty air filter. Try the cheap and easy first. look for something restricting air flow first. Did a plastic bag get sucked up around the air intake going to the filter? etc. Hope that helps

How to fix traction control>

Traction control doesn't shut the engine off. It will shut off the ABS system. Which is for slipping and sliding. You need to have the codes read. You can get code readers fairly cheap now days. But the cheaper ones will not read the ABS system or any other. Just the engine.

Check engine light came on vehicle shut down,Nissan Wingroad Y11,on checking with tech it showed Air flow censer, changed it drove about 50metres light came back on car stutter shut down. help

First inspect the boot from sensor to the intake manifold for cracks,inspect all the vacuum hoses to the intake.
second unplug the connector and inspect the terminal.Sometimes the plastic is burn and the wire pusht out of terminal. insert the wire all the way in or replace the pigtail.
plug scanner and monitor the air flow and air temperature on live data.

2003 Nissan Altima 2.5S, Check Engine Light Problem.

this problem could be caused by the mass air flow censor, i had the same problem with my car. it is really pricey at the dealer so you might want to check elsewhere for this part. I found one at a scrap yard for 85% less that the dealer and i also got life time warranty, the dealer does not offer any warranty on this part.
