Code 31, 18, 41, 58
Techinfo is just a click away, bud.
31 is PRNDL switch circuit. Not a big problem. It'* a switch, and won't cause you performance probs.
18 is cam/crank error. That shouldn't come as a surprise
Possibilities are interruptor magnet, sensor, wiring harness, or pcm.
41 is cam sensor circuit. Ditto, but this could also include the ICM.
58 is Passkey, or Vats if you prefer. It'* probably a false code.

Powertrain Control Module = PCM
All the 92+ cars have this, because it controls the entire powertrain including the trans.
91 and older, without the electronic Trans have ECM'* (Engine Control Module).
Same thing, anyway. The main brain. The chip. The computer. Underneath the glovebox on your car, or near the airbox on a Series 2.

Well as Bill sugests the code 18 and 41 are probably the same problem, burnt harness. Did you find a replacement or repair your old one?
The prnd321 switch maybe a loose connection or poor ground?
The vats system is tricky to diagnose but first start with the key, best answer maybe to get a vats bypass kit?

PRNDL code may just be a misalignment of the switch. There'* an alignment procedure in all service manuals for it. Clymer, Haynes, Chiltons, FSM, etc.
