Answer

i did a little more looking into the problem , the problem is probably the crankshaft sensor and a dme software issue . i would replace the sensor and if that doesn't completely fix the problem the dme ( engine control unit ) will need to have the software updated . they should charge you about an hours worth of labor at the local dealer if you tell the you need no diagnosis and only the dme reprogramed .
thanks and let me know how it works out for you
