Crank Sensor finished, now what?

Hey guys

I managed to get my car starting up and driving again since putting in the crank sensor.

But I've still got the problem that the motor idles like crap and it runs rich. What can I do to fix this problem? Also, when it's idling like crap, it sorta turns side to side in the engine bay, which is due to the crappy idle. It also pushes smoke out the back end everytime I start it up. But I think this is due to the fact that it runs irregularly. I plan to start starting it up more often to get it a little more lively.

Also, is it possible that 87 octane fuel could make our cars run crappy like this?

Please, help.

I'm thinking it could be a leaky injector, cam sensor, ign module/coil pack.


What do you guys think? Input, please guys. I'm getting desperate.
