Default PLEASE HELP...What do these engine fault codes mean

Can someone help. We just replaced the transmission on my 850, have a new radiator, new starter, and have checked out fuel pump pressure. New crankshaft sensor. Battery is fine too. The problem is that the car is not getting any spark. I have had this at 2 shops, and no one has been able to help. (Neither checked the OBD - I did this myself.)

Did the OBD and these are the codes:

in the 3 socket

4-4-4 I know that this is saying that there is no power supply to valves in hydraulic unit. What could be wrong here?

In the number 7 socket, we got the following:
122 - Temp. sensor interval too long
113 - Fuel gauge open circuit
231 - Vent damper motor position open circuit or short to 12 volts

Any ideas as to why we would be getting these codes? I have a 1995 850 GLT 2.4l non-turbo.

thanks!

Is the cam sensor good?
Is it possible you damaged the flywheel?

None of the codes above will stop the car from running.

I do feel that the cam sensor is bad, and it should be in tomorrow a.m. How would I know that the flywheel is damaged, and what might make it happen?

thanks!

It is always possible when installing the transmission that the flywheel can be damaged. You might be able to remove the crank sensor and have someone turn the motor over by hand. Check for damaged spots.

Also check the wiring to the gray relay on the top of the cooling fan.

Cam sensor was replaced, still no spark. Any other ideas? What about something with the immobilizer...is there any chance that this could be the problem? What about a relay? How would we know if one is bad and which would have to do with no spark? thanks!
